johntsmith, does your truck still have the six lug wheels or has that also been converted (to five lug wheels). As well, do you now have front disk brakes.
The reason I ask is that one way of switching over to disk brakes it to put a disk set up from a 73 to I think 87 on. (that gives you the five lug)
To do this you have to use the inner tie-rod from a 73-87 as the outer tie rod.
Maybe this is what you have?
