Ford tie rod end question

[olracer66]

Guys,
I'm trying to identify the tie rod ends on my vintage racer. The rod ends look just like the regular 35-48 rod ends except these have 5/8-18rh thread on the 3 inch shank. The stud is I/2-20 and taper appears to be 7 degrees. On the zerk side I see a stamped script FORD and block A. help
Thanks, OlRacer

Those are from an early Ford 1 ton truck.
Commonly used on old sprint cars and track roadsters.
The taper is 7 degrees.

Alan, is your 41 truck a 1 ton, or? I talked to "ralph" at Joblot and he told me the rod ends for a 41 Ford 1 ton have a 3/4 inch shank. Back to the drawing board.
