Does anyone know of a modern replacement for the tie rod ends? I don't really mind NOS, but if something new will fit, why not?

Does anyone know of a modern replacement for the tie rod ends? I don't really mind NOS, but if something new will fit, why not?
The following is found in many former threads....not originally my info but verified as correct...Moog makes them:
I found them for about $27 at http://www.ussprings.com
p/n's: ES235R ES235L (right and left thread)
Jon, I never did find those anywhere I looked online, and finally had to order NOS ones from VPW. Hopefully my search was incomplete because their supply isn't endless, I'm thinking.Quote:

I have also found these on ebay for about $26.00 and $10.00 shipping. I hope this helps as I have gotten a lot of valuable information from the members on the Zone. Scott
Hey Scott, where in CT are you? :)
I am in Salisbury Rt 41 near the mass line. Scott
Moog discontinued these...boy thats a real killer....
Just like Autolite discontinued the correct spark plug. Hmmm, we must be getting older, or are the trucks getting older???Quote:

I'll do some shopping based on this thread and see what I can find.
Thanks again! I appreciate everyone's input.
IF they still have any, Vintage Dodge POwer Wagons in Fairfield, Iowa had a bunch of tie rod bars for the M715's that they bought from another surplus dealer when they got out of the business...so with this get 2 tie rod ends mounted in the metal bar connecting them just like on the truck...take off one and put in the other...price was around $100 plus shipping...was cheaper for that then buying 2 of the Moog units usually...
I bought only the rod ends in order to save on shipping and because I didn't need a tie rod adding to the clutter. If you decide to go this route, check threading on the tie rod ends you receive, because they sent me one with the wrong threading.Quote:

Yeah, that would be my luck. :) Thanks!Quote:
