are there any newer tie rod ends that will fit original 3/4" tie rod, trying to keep close to original, without too many$$ thanks in advance
Tie Rod Ends I bought a new tie rod and ends from CP and they look and work fine. Price is pretty decent.
Steve, are the 1/2 & 3/4 ton same ends, all i could find in CP was for 1/2 ton they didn't show 3/4? I'm new at this posting stuff me & computers aren't best of friends. Thanks
Tie rod ends I looked in the assembly manual but coudn't find tie rod ends. Probably best if you give them a call on Monday, they'll know if there the same. I also looked in the Jim Carter catalog and they have 2 different tie rod ends. One for 1/2 ton and one for 1 and 1.5 tons. Nothing listed for 3/4 ton.
The 3/4 ton tie rod ends are different from the 1/2 tonners. The 3/4'rs have a tappered end. You can put modern tie rod ends on your 3/4, but you need to find a tie rod from a 1 ton truck. The 1 ton tie rod is hollow and a larger diameter, also stronger. I'll check to confirm the part #s for the ends but I beleve that they are ES26L-R. Just did this to my 54 3/4 GMC, this works good!!
