Question Need help identifying Non-stock drag link

First post!

Good evening all,

I need some help identifying the non-OEM drag link and tie rods for my 1968 GMC 1500. It's dark outside so I'll post a picture tomorrow morning to better explain what I'm asking for.

I bought my truck about 6 months ago. The previous owner passed away and his wife didn't want to look at it anymore. It's been heavily modified and upgraded (chop top, late GMC step side bed, L76 327, etc etc etc...). Sadly, he took all his history with this truck to the grave so I've been going through and trying to catalog what has been changed (So far, everything except bench seat frame mount)

Almost every movable part was shot in the front end. And nothing so far has been matching OEM parts, to include the drag link.

Can anyone tell me the small and large diameter on the inner tie rod stud connected through the drag link or the hole diameter on the drag link for a 73 or later? I have a sneaking suspicion that it's from a newer C10/1500 but I honestly have nothing to reference here.

Stock tie rods are too small and the old ones are far too worn out to use again. Even screwing the nut on the rod causes it to spin around.

Post a photo. Hard to tell from a photo of the shiny top side
