shorten tie rod

I need to shorten the tie rod on my 34 ford pickup.Can anyone tell me the tap size and thread count. I'm using original style tie rod ends. Thanks

 

I think it's 11/16-18

Not a common size, thanks to Henry..

The machine supply I got mine (Cal Aero in Paramount) just calls them "Ford tie rod taps"

(Wait for confirmation...)

 

Yep, 11/16-18. Same as Jeep, BTW. I got right hand taps from MSC Industrial Supply but had to have the LH custom made, some years ago. Since you only need one, the RH should do.

I hope this link takes you there. http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMPXNO=1735950&PMT4NO=55693671

If not, go to mscdirect.com and search for item # 04846762 - cost is $30.89 ea.

 

Got mine from Speedway Motors. Fair price with shipping.

 

Thanks that should get me where Ineed to go.

 

If you are close to Orange, I have the required taps to do the job. I will be at my shop tomorrow.

If they are original tierod ends, arent they female, with a male threaded rod?
Male tierod ends started after 34..

 

Thanks Jimmy ,but I'm in Palm Desert about 1:45 away.
