I just picked up a 1948 3800 pickup. Tie rod was so bent, rainbow-style, such that it created probably 45 deg. of toe-out on the front wheels, and we had to cut it in half in order to straighten the wheels to load onto my trailer.
So my question is, what is the difference between a 3/4 ton and 1 ton tie rod? It looks like the parts houses (Classic, COT40s, Jim Carter, etc) stock a tie rod for 1/2 and 3/4 tons, but not for 1 tons.
Thanks!
