I understand that, what I'm saying is that the
tie rod ends are different from the
drag link ends and the hy-steering is set up with all (4)
tie rod ends. Unfortunately, the Pittman is normally attached to the drag link and so the taper is for the
drag link ends, and won't fit the
tie rod ends. I may be wrong about that, but that is what I remember when I had the 80 series front end apart.
In the end, do a test fit and see for yourself, but be prepared for the idea of cutting a new taper. With the correct reamer it's a 2 minute job.
