Re: Tie rod ends

Some F body and full size car tie rod ends work. The joint end does not matter. The length does. The length must be short/long enough for adjustments.

Re: Tie rod ends

In this case the length does matter and it needs to be very short. The stock S-10 tie rods are very long. I need some that are very short and fit the S-10 spindle. Im making a set of notchless tie rods for a guy that works with me. basically I need the ends and Im making the center from DOM tube.

I fugured maybe Nova or early Camaro might work. It may take a day trip to the wrecking yard to solve this mystery.

I know some people make these already so I know its possible.
