Does anyone know what is the castle nut size of B-body tie rods? What diameter is the tie rod stud (major and minor diameter)? Should be a 7° taper afaik.
Thanks
 
Found the info: https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/tie-rod-ends-adjusters-s.86542/#post-786023 Here are some numbers if anyone else is interested:

A = The length of the threaded portion of the tie rod end
B = The thread size on the portion that the adjusting sleeve threads on to
C = The diameter at the top of the tapered portion of the stud
D = The diameter at the bottom of the tapered portion of the stud

1960 to 1969 A/B Body #ES319R & ES319L
A = 3.940"
B = 9/16-18
C = 0.554"
D = 0.626"
Taper = 1.5/FT = 7.125°

1970 to 1972 A/B Body #ES401R & ES401L
A = 4.000"
B = 9/16-18
C = 0.554"
D = 0.626"
Taper = 1.5/FT

C Body stuff depends somewhat on year/model. Here's what you need to swap onto the A Body.

Tie rod ends #ES352R & ES355L
A = 4.000"
B = 11/16-18
C = 0.558"
D = 0.626"
Taper = 1.5FT

A Bodies all use the same tie rod sleeves. Tie rod sleeve specs are as follows.

A Body #ES319S
Length = 8.25"
OD = 0.950"

C Body #ES440S
Length = 8.12"
OD = 0.880"
