67 c10 with 76 disc brake swap, what inner tie rods? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 67 c10 2wd with original crossmember with 76 upper and lower control arms, spindles, and ball joints installed. Any reason I can't use the 76 inner and outer tie rods with the 76 center link? Looking to buy new tie rods to finish steering and all I found was use the outers that match the spindles. Any help is appreciated

You should be fine w/the 76 TRE's & center-link. You just need a Pitman arm to match the type of steering (power or manual) & verify the idler matches the center-link as far as the joint taper.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the response

I did several back in the day w/the 71/72 drag link. I'm fairly comfortable saying the 73-80 drag link works as well.
