Russntustin,

My web/ftp site has been offline for several days and I was unable to post this picture from a 1954 Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual. It shows the old style tie-rod ends for 1/2 ton trucks in '54. GMC might have been different. As stated above, most aftermarket replacements are the new-style, with screw on ends.
