steering and suspension Is There A Way To Buy Only The Threaded Tube The Inner And Outer Tie Rods Screw Into?

[WTA123]

Finally got around to pulling out my entire tie rod assembly. Only one side of the center link gave me problems, but it eventually dropped out.  While out of the car, I noted that the tube that the inner and outer tie rods screw into is quite beat up (on both sides unfortunately). The old tie rods, which seem to be original, are in essence fused into the tube.  The threads that are showing from the tie rods are completely rusted over.  Even if I got the old tie rods to spin out of the tube, I would think they would be pretty much unusable from that point anyway. Is there any source for purchasing just the two tubes?  I have seen the entire "outer" assembly that comes with both new inner and outer ends, but I already purchased all new inner and outer tie rods ends (along with a new center link).  Any sources for them?

You might find a used one from someone swapping in new ones, but I haven't seen just the rod available new.

Where are you located?  I still have the tie rod assemblies removed from the 69 and could try removing the sleeve part.
