Yep, I went back and reread some of those old threads and I
remember him now.
Fact remains that you don't need the original tie rod and tie
rod ends to convert your 3600. Easy enough to make it up all
new with ends that you can pickup at your FLAPS.
Of course, if you do happen to find a truck that's about to be
run thru the crusher you could save a few bucks. Don't know
what the availability of those early tie rod ends would be,
even the newer style ends wear out. They had an odd ball thread
on them and if the tie rod were bent you would have one ell of
a time getting 13/16"-16nf taps ground special, not to mention
the expense.
