Broke all the tie rod ends, drag links loose today and what a mess. At least 1/2 were deformed due I'm guessing to rarely getting any grease. The ball seats were worn to about 1/2 normal size. I don't know what was holding it together...think Rust. Tie rod was bent. Good reminder when you buy a 70 yr old truck to do a thorough check on key subsystems before getting out on the highway.
