Thanks for the PM. I gonna post this for reference. 99-00 GMT800 knuckles have a different tie rod taper than 01-07. It is very hard to locate a set of used 99-00 knuckles, and they are superseded to the later ones by gm. I already have a set of 01-07 knuckles.

I will most likely have a GMT400 outer tie rod shortened and machined to M14, and use a standard 01-07 outer tie rod.

When I do this, I will post a build thread and parts used.
