Dana 44 tie rod end thread size/tube sizeI - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I am wondering what thread size the tie rod ends are on like a 79 ford dana 44. I am going to hi steer and dont have my jeep at the house right now to find out. I read that 1 tons are 7/8"-18. But i am running 1/2 ton stuff, are they the same thread? Also what diameter/ thickness of tube will i need to make a upper draglink?

no one?
i assume 1/2 ton steering is 7/8" thread, so what tube size do i need to make a draglink? 1.5" ??

Cool, i used that link to go to another link and this is what he used:
The tie rod and drag link were both made from 1 1/4" diameter, 5/16" wall DOM steel tubing

I was thinking 1.5" DOM but i dont know. Where can i get weld on bungs for the steering? 7/8 18
