What outer tie rods to use C20 to C10 spindles?

Got a pair of used 84 1500 Suburban lower control arms, pressed in new lower ball joints, removed the c20 upper ball joints, bolted in new upper ball joints, bought 2 1/2 drop spindles and 2" lowering springs and new KYB shocks.

My question is the 84 outer tie rods I got have the correct taper, but the shaft diameter is larger than the adjustment sleeve. Do I have to change the inner tie rods and adjusting sleeves? Is there a recommended outer tie rod with the smaller shaft and correct taper for the spindle? Thanks guys/gals

Figured this out on my own but I thought I'd post the answer to my own question. You need to use the inner AND outer tie rods and adjusting sleeve to connect the 67 C20 center link to the 73-87 spindles.
