Need tie rod information

So I just replaced my steering box and discovered that the inner tie rods need replacing too. Which means I probably need outers as well. I called NAPA to see what they have and the guy on the phone is asking me if I need left hand threads or right hand threads. I said, "Well, don't I need one of each?" The last 2 sets I did, driver's side was left handed and passenger is right handed threads I think. He said "no, I need to know what kind of threads".

So I went out to look, and I can't even see the threads on the ends cause they're threaded in pretty far and I don't want to take it all apart until I get replacements, so who's right? What do I need? (1992 F-250 4x4)

If you are replacing both (and you should) you will need one of each. He probably thought you only wanted inner one.
