WTB center tie rod for K20

I have a 68 K20 that has a center tie rod that has been bent. Just checking to see if anyone might have one for sale. See picture of the existing bent tie rod.

Re: WTB center tie rod for K20

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions. I am going with one from DIY 4x4. They custom cut them to match your truck for about $85 with the proper threads and it is much larger and stronger diameter. Again thanks!

Re: WTB center tie rod for K20

No problem, I will post a picture and a quick review. When I spoke with him over the phone he explained to install the left and right tie rods on to the truck. Then run the jam nut at least half way up the threads on both sides and measure the distance between. That is the length they will cut it to and will be threaded and ready to go.
