Re: Outer tie rod/spindle help

Looking around. Hope I didn't give you bad info.

I found your part number here, listed for a 71-72.

That lead me to Rock Auto. Looking at the tie rod end for a 69, 71, and 73 C10 Pickup. Using Moog Problem Solver part numbers.
1965-1970: ES350L
1971-1972: ES415RL
1973-1986: ES409RT

I am trying to find the stud diameter on these 3 tie rod ends. After some digging around, I stumbled upon: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=415653

Quote:
65-70 outer is 7/16" with a .856 taper length going between .593 and .623
71-72 outer is 1/2" with a .612 taper length going between .521 and .623
73-86 outer is 9/16" with a .924 taper length going between .593 and .747
Looks like I did give you bad info, and you need a 73-86. Sorry! Hopefully you can return the parts you purchased. I got mixed up because I have a C20, and they use the same tie rod end from 71-87.
