Here's the tech tip to use modern components which are a perfect fit together. The part numbers with their original applications are:

Napa 269-1118 sleeve Moog # ES 426 S application: 72-78 Ford LTD

Napa 269-2078 outer tie rod end Moog # ES 403 R application: 71-76 Chevrolet Caprice

Napa 269-2225 inner tie rod end Moog #ES 288 L application: 61-68 Dodge D100


The catch to this upgrade is that both the pitman and steering arms need to be taper reamed... one at 10 degrees and the other at 7.5 however no other welding or butchery is required. Pictures I took here.
