Awesome guys thanks! The only thing that needs immediate attention are the rubber bushings in the dual track bar setup. Its crap-tastic for suspension movement, but makes it awesome for road manors. Even with the left ones rotted out from power steering fluid leaks, it handled really well at...

I have seen ford tierod ends that have an eyelet in the shaft, worse case I may be able to source something like that, then just have a tierod built and attach the drag link to the eyelet.

yeah, those are 49. something. I'm looking more like 53" the distance from b.j. zert to zert is at 59" The b.j.s are 1" diam. at the adjusters, and .55" at the spindle. the left side (long side) is 56 5/8ths from the zert to the far end of the adj. sleeve, and the sleeve is 5.5" The drag link is...

I need to get measurements for it, is there anything that would stop me from using this setup from a 78 79 f150? The eye for the drag link isn't at 90 deg from the tie rod end, but that could be adjusted out at the drag link adj. sleeve, yah??

Nope. 86 burb is odd.

I took a quick look at an early suburban front end last night, and the tierod looks just like mine, but flipped over and the hole where the stabilizer is on its left side is where my drag link mounts on my left side. I'm gonna go back and measure and look closer. I dont remember if the tierod...

And for what its worth, I'm growing to despise the econoline message board. I cant get admin approval, and the last admin to be on the sight hasn't been for weeks. and of course, I cant contact them without approval.. UGH!!!

All I wanna do for now, is replace the tie rod ends, then proceed from there. Ball joints and all are fine. Once that's done, I'm gonna build a simple track bar that attaches to the cross member, then figure out a sway bar setup. As it is, its not safe to take anywhere, and if I cant get that...

The van its self has a build date on the tag of 2/ 78 and has dual piston calipers. Could these be chevy parts?

Im apparently not smart enough to figure out how to post pics. When I do, its just says failed. Grrrrr.....

Yeah, Boomers way modified. Amazing thread

I'll check that one out. Apparently, I'm not smart enough to figure out how to post pics.

The drag link? On these, it attaches 5" from the right ball joint on the tie rod and not on the spindle.

I'll definitely take a pic of it tomorrow. and list the measurements. From what Ive found,a 78 f250 tie rod is the same, but about 3" too short. I'm trying to find the measurements of one for a crew cab, but cant even find one for sale. Mines 56 5/8" from the ball joint center (grease zert) to...

And it is full frame, coil sprung, with the goofy dual track bars. great on the road, but yo dont wanna hit dips n road bumps straight on very much. in that instance, theres MAYBE 3/4" of travel. I'm super Ignorant when it comes to forums, and have no idea how to contact the Admins.

WOW, IM LEARNING!!! Yep, no bolts, the original pathfider ones with the 6 ribs on the side.

Yeah, Gordon at pathfinder is mia. I'm still trying to figure out the difference in ext. and int. hubs. Mine has brass pathfinder manual hubs, beyond that I dunno yet. My first goal it to figure out what tierod ends and drag link I need. I need
