I also got the ME455 tie rod for 55-59 truck from Jim Carter because (A) stronger than original and (B) my original tube one is bent.

Now, I called and asked about it because they sell the Tie rod and the Tie rod ends, but with the tubular Tie Rod, the Tie rod ends just screw in, but the ME 455 part didn't come with couplers. JC sez that its the wrong tie rod for this truck. But sounds a little odd to me since all the trucks use this type of screw in tie rod end.

So question - I can return it, or I could try to find the couplers - and I would druther find the couplers. Where would you look for that sort of thing?

Thans. Pix/link included. Also I laid the solid one down next to the tube one (still on truck) and it seems like the right length.
