If I am seeing the pictures correctly I do not believe the tie rod ends are the orginal design (they would have a screw in cap on the end).

My '50 3600 had/has tapered tie rod end connections and i replaced the originals with the newer style from the Filling Station (AF-168 1932-1959 CAR/TRUCK TIE ROD ENDS-REPLACEMENT) but note that the dust boots split shortly after installation and prior to any real use. I do not have the measurement of the studs to compare to yours but I anticipate that others will be along shortly to provide additional input.
