OK This is for 1951 and earlier AD's. So the catalog says...
After asking the guys on bolt, I started my research and found something from speedway motors. As it turned out I had this catalog but a friend told me about the adjustable models of tie rod sleeves from 8'' to 24'', in aluminum, 5/8'' and 3/4''. They can also make any length of tie rod and drag link you want in SS, Plain, maybe even chrome molly. All w/ plain (no chrome or SS) ball ends in both L/H & R/H threads.
Here is a link, maybe in the future someone else will need this link/ thread:

I found a source and will call them tomorrow about my need for a proper adjustable DRAG link. It will be necessary to remove / (drill out) the BALL end(s) of my ''tie rod'' & ''steering rod'' as well as the pitman arm. These must be a 'Chevy' taper fit insert.
question :
What is the center line length of the drag link (ball & socket type)... my stuff is at the rod shop and it may be a couple days b4 I'm back there???? Any one know. Ball park C/L figure is good cause they have about a 2'' give.
thx
Ps Bill, keep up that fine work.
