I'm also pulling the springs for re-work and while its all apart I might as well consider everything. No IFS money right now. Are there good quality up-graded tie rod ends (or any other bits) for the AD 48-54 3100 trucks?? If so what is the differences between those on the market? What else should I look at that may have worn out over the years that may cause problems & needs replacement? Which company(ies) sells them?
gooday
thanks

I just put them on my 55-II. I got them from either Chevy-Duty or LMC. I can,t remember which. I am close to both. The were a little onery to put on. You have to remove the stud from the steering arms.

The shop I work out of is near there. Carquest caries the Moog line but those parts were discontinued the last time I tried to get some there. You might try them though sometimes these parts guys don,t know or don,t care.
