Okay so just got done ordering a round of parts , I got all 4 Chevy 1 ton tie rod ends and steering links.
26" rubber break lines
Front pads for my D44 all off rock auto for $64
Then I picked up a set of new 7deg c bushings, radius arm busings and drag link bushings for 52$ shipped to my house from autoplicity.com
Hopefully The parts come this weekend so I can start getting things mocked up,
Oh I forgot I also spent 28$ on ball joints earlier last week,
Hopefully I can find some time this week to start cleaning up the d44 and radius arms, and get the knuckles off so I can send them to a machine shop to get tapered for the 1 tons
And get the new ball joints installed.
Hopefully have some pics for you guys by the weekend
I found weld in bungs on eBay for 8.95$ plus 2$ shipping or so, 7/8-18" LH and RH thread with nice hex heads , weld into 1" ID tubing so probably going with 1.5" OD
Do I get one left hand and one RH for each section? So turning the steering link one way or another, after loosening the jamb nuts will either lengthen the distance between 2 ends or shorten the distance, I know modern rack n pinion tie rods are both the same thread.
Wouldn't doing it the way I mentioned allow for greater adjustment? What have you guys done?
