I have had these Lukes Links sittin here for over a year now while I put this project off. I have the links but didn't realize when I ordered them that they re-use the bolts from the stock tie rod ends. I was changing them because my bolts are pretty chewed up. I'm hoping somebody has an old set of tie rod ends laying around their junk pile that I can get the bolts or the whole assembly if need be, happy to pay any shipping and handling.

 

What steering does your truck have on it ? T or Y style?

I MIGHT be able to find the tie-rods we took off of our service truck at work a couple weeks ago , but more than likely they are gone, I will check tomorrow , if they are still around they are all yours.

 

The part I need is the same for both I think. I just need the bolts out of them that have the cone shape on them and the castle nut. I wouldn't expect anybody to take the time to sit there and grind them out for me, so I'm willin to pay the shipping for the whole part. Off hand I can't tell you which type I have and wouldn't know how to tell the difference by looking. Thanks

 

Oh heck , if they are around i'll take 5 mins and stick em in the chop saw and just send you the last 3" or so with the end on it, and let you extract them yourself, that is unless i have a REALLY slow day tomorrow I could come up with unique origional ways to get them out , the grinder sounds rather boring. i'm thinking air hammer....

I will check tomorrow morning and see if they are still around there somewhere , but i have a suspicion that they got tossed.

 

Leavin for Tulsa tonight and will be gone for a couple days, if you find'em don't let go. I need five of them total, but I'll take however many to get started.

 

I asked the mech at work today what he did with the rods when he changed them out , and he threw them in the scrap metal bin , IF i get time tomorrow i will go take a quick look and see if i cn't locate them for you.

 

I'm back and hopin somebody can take care of me here.

 

I dug through the scrap metal bin , and no luck , i couldn't find them. I do have the track bar off of the truck, if that is of any use to you?
