OK, here is my problem. I have a 1978 Ford F150 RC 44 for the front of my rig, but it came to me frm the shop with no steering. (Not too upset about it ebcause I want to go beefy). how can I do this. the exle is goign under a 1977 Ford Bronco. I was thinking I can hone out the knuckles on the F150 stock ends for some F350 ends. I can build my own tie rod with some F350 ends on them, and then make my drag link do into the "eye loop" in the F 350 rod end. This is going to be a daily driver, so no heims for me. Will this work? It will be basically the same design as a TJ, but WAY more beefier.

My other question is does anyone have the part #'s for the F350 rod ends? I need to get these built ASAP, so that I have some sttering. I have the stock Pitman arm off the bronco that i want to use, but I want everything else to be F350 shit.

Call Mike at Bent and Twisted (http://bentandtwisted.com) he did my setup with the big Ford TRE's. Good price, less then building it myself. The links are .375 wall DOM :eek:

Mike set up the axle for me, and from what I understand he was supposed to do the steering as well. I have not yet seen the axles, but will see them this weekend. I was told by my buddy the steering was not on it yet, but if it is then GREAT. I hope it is all done for me, I really do not want to go through the trouble of doing all this work myself.

I'll try and get a close up of the Ford Oval

I've looked and can't frind TRE's with a GM logo :flipoff2:

That is exactly what I want to do with my setup, just can't afford high steer right now, so I build them BEEFY!!!! and I will not worry about breaking. Later on I will move them up to the top. What are the part #'s on the GM 1 ton rod ends?

ES2234R and ES2010L

Ok, how about "GM spec TREs" for Dana knuckles?

Like the PN's posted above.
