1975 Blazer - Sourcing the long tie rod?

[7900_Blazer]

Anyone else having a hard time finding a replacement ‘long’ tie rod with the steering dampener connection point close to the actual tie rod end vs the connection point being in the middle?

the left side tie rod is the long one. here is a link from oh reallys for a moog one for an 85 K20, not sure what your truck is

Thanks for the help,

I guess I’m getting old… Not sure how, after all the work I did, but I totally forgot that I rebuilt and upgraded my axles to 8 lug 2500 axles out of a salvage yard.. but was still searching for the stock tie rods for a 75’… duh…

I do have a separate question though…

Is the stock tie rod the 1-18 thread? Or the 7/8-18 thread?

I’m assuming that this is the thickness of the tie rod plus the thread count…?

What is stock?
