The 1/2 ton balls have a straight shank on them, the 3/4 ton
balls have a taper. The tapered shank balls for use with the
standard tie rod ends are available from the vendors.
http://www.pbase.com/dennygraham/image/121613827 For the 3600 series there is no modern style replacement
tie rod end with a female thread offered by any of the
vendors nor does MOOG make one. Moog does make one
with the proper taper to fit the steering knuckle but
it's has a 3/4" male thread. You would have to make
a new tubular tie rod with a male left and right hand
thread in each end. The MOOG numbers for the modern
ends are ES150R and ES150L. A new tie rod to accommodate
these ends is made from 1" x .156" x 43.188" DOM tube.
