Highboy steering conversion drag link

So while i have the body off the highboy, im going to do a steering conversion. Going to mock it all up with an old 2wd box so when i do the body swap i can use my 2wd redhead box.
For the drag link, does anyone have any part numbers for tie rod ends and sleeve to make up an adjustable drag link? Im not big on welding one up, and the only welding shop in town wont do it anyway.
Ive read and googled, and have everything else to do the conversion. But if someone already has part numbers or knows what year vehicle has the correct parts for the drag link id appreciate it.

I found that last night, but they dont divulge part numbers.
I woke up this morning and it hit me...ill really only need to find one part. The tre at the pitman arm will be the same, as will the sleeve. So i will only need the tre at the knuckle.
