Chevy TRE's

[Bent Bolt]

Do the chevy tie rod ends ( such as this http://www.partsmike.com/store/store.php?crn=204&rn=1110&action=show_detail ) fit on the Ranger pitman arm and knuckles ??

Also, those TRE are 7/8" which are strong enough. What about 3/4" ?? I'm thinking it MAY be too small but I have seen them used.

I've seen 3/4 used, and they hold up fine. I'm using the stock pitman arm on my truck and I just had it reamed out to the proper taper. I'd assume the knuckles would be fine as well, as there's plenty of material there.

But you had to ream them ?? The chev TRE won't fit the stock pitman arm ??

No, they're bigger. Like said, there's plenty of material around everything so you can ream things bigger no problem.

Thanks all. Thats what I was looking for.

Should work just fine. I actually run the 1-ton TRE on the top of my pitman arm.

I have the XCUT reamer that is the proper taper for that TRE. I don't need it anymore, so make me an offer if you want it.
