'75-'77 drag link for all you guys doing RR steering conversions

For all you guys doing a RR steering conversion, I found a guy relatively local to me that has factory Mopar drag links for '75-'77 4x4 trucks with Dana 60's new in the box. This is the one with the bend in it for a little tighter turning radius. They are Chrysler part number 4026827. I cross referenced these with every other part number I could find related to this drag link and they seem to be correct. It crosses with MOOG DS-879 (which is discontinued). I have not put one of these on my truck yet so I cannot say 100% that it is the right part. I am confident enough that I just bought 2 for $35 each.
That's a pretty good deal considering that they're factory Mopar and the prices on parts store Chinese ones are $110-$170 if you can find them. The guy has them listed on fleabay but won't ship them out of the US. If any of the folks from Canada want one send me a PM and I'll buy it from the guy and mail it to you. I believe these are military surplus. The two that I bought are dated April of 1986 on the sticker on the box.
I have no affiliation with the guy selling these. I don't want to run afoul of the advertising rules. I just want to pass on a pretty screamin' deal to other board members. If people need further info PM me.

Dunno if he'll ship to Canada. If he won't ship it to you I can pick one
up and mail it to you.

Thanks for the offer. But I live less then 10 min from the Canada/USA border. I have my stuff shipped to a US address then walk across and bring it back myself. Been doing this for almost 25 years.

That is a good deal, even rock auto only has 1 AC Delco selection for almost 100 bucks shipped.

I snagged two of the clearance Moog Drag Links for R/R setups on Rock Auto years ago for 13 bucks each, but those are long gone.

Nope, it's Saturn Surplus in Millersburg PA. He deals mostly in military truck parts. I would assume that they are surplus drag links for the M880. He has a pile of other M880 parts as well. He has deuce and a half parts, M151, etc.
