Use an outer tie rod as an outer for a 73-87 C10
Use POL HPAS6570 tie rod adapter to mate the two different tie rods.
I converted my 69 C10 from manual drums to power discs 30 years ago, using parts from a mid-80s C10. As I recall, my center link came from a late 70s C20, but as I recall, it's identical to a mid-80s C10. Tie rod ends are stock mid-80s. I don't see a need for adapters. I also used 71-72 booster, brackets, master cylinder, and combination valve.

Looking at the attached .pdf file, the mid-80s Pitman arm is different than the 67-72 C10, but idler arms are the same.
A while back, someone on this forum pointed out an error or two in my table, but I think I corrected the problems.
