Thanks, Kelly | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 42 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 42 | Who sells one that fits ? This has turned into a problem. My 53 3100 chevy has a bent tie rod so I ordered one from CD that want fit my tie rod ends. CD says there is only one. I already knew that & I thought they are 3/4" but CDs tech said they are 13/16". Now a diferent supplier thinks they are pipe but thats only on big trucks right? I have a 49 3100 with a rusted out body to take one off but that seems stupid when new ones are less than $ 50.00. http://www.cravy.com/53-3100/LadyAfterRats.jpg Thanks, Kelly | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 | My 54 1/2 ton is:
Rod = .750
Threads = .788
13/16 = .8125
The threads are noticably larger in diameter than the rod. The threads appear to be cut and not rolled.
I am not sure why the ancients did this, it makes no sense to me.
