Basically, due to the diameter of the newer style tie rod end that goes into the new spindle, you have to use the current outer tie rod end in the inner position and then get an adapter to go between the two diffent size threads.
In the attached forum that L Griffin attached it is stated that you can get the tie rod adapters from Bob's Chevy parts, but that is not correct. I called Bob's and was directed to 4 different west coast old truck parts dealers before I told to contact Classic Performance. Classic Performance, I was told by the guy that answered the phone, actually manufactures the adapters to go between the different size tie rod ends. They are $50.
I'm getting close to getting mine down. I'll let you know how it works out.
