Update. The dodge tie rod seems to work. There are 2 sets for a 70s dodge and it used the smaller one. Ended up with that and a factory 70s chevy at the steering arm. I haven't drove it yet but it fits and seems to be correct as far as fit and In plane when coupled with the 4" lift steering arm.

I Ran all the new brake lines other than the master cylinder to proportioning valve but need one more rubber line. The drive shaft is reworked and reinstalled now so it is minor odds and ends at this point. Hopefully a shake down cruise will happen in the next week or two. I have had some problems and have wait on parts.
