Let us know if you do this Randy, and maybe post a picture or
two. I'm one of those 95% purists so I haven't changed my '50
or my '54 to the newer style ends. I just made this tie rod as
an experiment on my part to see if I could come up with a clean
way of converting the tie rod. Rim clearance is another one of
the little problems that we run into when we're restoring a
3600 AD to make it safe to put on the road.
By the time I get to the '54 I may just relax my anal tendency's
and use this tie rod on it so I don't have to space out the
Ford 16" front wheels to clear the tie rod ends.
After all, GM already beat us to it half way on
the '54 by using a modern style drag link.
