Thanks for all of the pictures guys. We got the new steering gear box installed today and I found a tie rod end that had LH thread and same taper dimensions as the MRC ES2234R, so we were able to use the front part of the drag link from the Blazer and screw the new tie rod into the adjusting sleeve. It is also fairly short, so it works out well length wise using it with the Blazer part of the drag link.
the body of the new tie rod end is also a bit smaller in diameter than the MRC ES2234R, so that minimized the contact with the leaf spring bracket such that we were able get proper clearance by grinding some off of the spring bracket.
Still have to shorten the steering shaft and get the PS pump mounted up. Also need a different harmonic balancer pulley, as the one on ther now only has 1 belt groove
