1968 4x4 drag link

[yellowbomber]

Hello and great site! Can't believe I didn't find it long ago. I have built several 60-76 C and K trucks over the years.
I have been searching the site for some time and have seen this discussed with no final answer.
I am re-building a 1968 K-10. It is in good shape and I plan on keeping it original as possible. To that end I plan on keeping the closed knuck 44.

Has anyone found a solution to the no longer available drag link??
The tie rod ends are the same taper, so I am currently searching for a 10-11" tie rod sleeve with 3/4" threads to build one using tie rod ends.

Thank you much!
