I tried those and they DO NOT work on the 3/4 ton as the taper that goes into the steering arm is larger for the 3/4 and I informed Chevs of 40s about this problem. My new 1 ton tie rods just clear my Ford wheels w/o spacers and I'll also tweek the stearing arms next chance I get.

[email protected], WD has all the 1 ton tie rods/ends etc that will also work on the 3/4. He usually has parts for sale ads running here on the bolt site.
Adding a photo of 1 ton tie rod & end, just clears,but works and no spacer.

Do you by any chance know what your backspacing is? I am trying to visualize what sort of gap I am going to end up with.
