Ok we all know that I bought a parts truck a long time ago.... for $500
http://rootbreaker.no-ip.com/PROJECT_NJLEGAL/9_20_2003/partstruck.htm
anyhow... ABC autoparts was going out of business so I got a left and right tierod for $45... left was supposed to be $89 and right was $45 so I did good....
well I went to finally put it on tonight... after about 1 month of having it... Well the adapter piece that holds them together was too small... so I went to advanced auto parts.. bought a new one and it was too small....seems that I had a left tie rod end piece which was too small and I needed the right one...
so now I have what I need but here is my questions..
1. does anyone have a pic of what was supposed to be on a 1979 gmc d60? the one I took off is thinner than the one I am putting on
2. is there supposed to be just tie rod ends on both sides with a pipe in the middle? I have a 5' left tie rod bar and a shortie passenger side.
You can see what I had on this pic.. IT IS A BIG PIC!!!

anyhow... you can also notice that there is a hole near the middle for the steering stabalizer.. well I dont need it in the middle as the new one has it near the drivers side end..... oh well
