Looking for help locating new inner & outer tie rod ends for my '50. Any advice/suggestions appreciated....

Kanter and Max Merritt have them--outer numbers are 410734 (r) and 410733(l).

The inner is not really a tie rod but called a tube and 2 required 387893. This item I believe is only available as a Packard part no aftermarket.

I have some old aftermarket numbers
Allied Monmouth (napa) 5125
Toledo ES 125
Moog ES 125
ST 125 and TS 125
These numbers represent a pair of outer tie rod ends.

PM and we can discuss .

The inner tie rods can be adjusted to eliminate play. You will note slotted plugs in the end of the cross link between them. Remove the cotter pin and turn the plugs in till they stop. Back off about one turn and repin the plugs. Done.

Thanks for the replies and info guys, my concern is that the right (passenger side) inner rod is badly bent, it looks like someone used the steering linkage as a anchor point for a tie-down on a trailer! I'll try to get some pictures to better explain it. I'm hoping to find a replacement.
