    Hey guys Is the tapers/diameter on the drag link shafts (center steering link) the same as the outer tie rod ends taper/diameter?

    Example. Making a drag link out of solid chromoly with threaded ends to accept 84+ outer tie rods to mount into the steering box and idler.

    Something like this

    To copy my drag link. Obviously with the steering arm tapered holes and mill flat faces for the castle nuts to face up to.

    I have a 65 Toyota Lite Stout, Coil sprung A arm front end. I want to use 84+ idler and power steer box, but get a custom drag link made that will still use the stock outer and inner tie rods/steering arms.
