Re: JPOR: Pitman Arm Taper

[Steve Smith <ssmith@xxxxxx>]

Go to your neighborhood parts place.  Ask for the "Chassis Parts" catalog.  It
should give you more information about tie rod end sizes then you ever wanted to
know.

Another alternative - call Parts Mike (www.partsmike.com)..  I think he will
sell you one that will fit.  I don't know what that will cost, but his stuff is
usually pretty good and he is a nice guy..
