I was going to buy Chrome-Moly rod ends from a well known race car fabricator who I bought a Back-Half frame from to build my 68 C10 Race truck
they wanted almost 40 bucks a piece for them.

I am also doing rear upper and lower trailing arms with crhome-moly tubing for my 70 SS396 Chevelle so I needed 16 rod ends 3/4-16 5/8 bore.

Well the price damn well could choke a horse until, I found this site on the .net http://www.midwestcontrol.com/.

Thier rod ends are exactly what the race mfg. sells but instead of 40.00 they 8.61 in a qty. of 10 or more.
Just thought for you guy's who do your own fabrication I'd pass this on could possibly save us big bucks.

I have a IMCA modified and I need to upgrade all mine to because the orginals ones are the cheaps ones and have worked loose/wore out. I seen them for 22.95 for the 3/4-16 from many of the circle track suppliers. I need 9 for the car and 9 for spares, that was gonna be about $400 in just hiems. I looked on the link you put and the price I seen was for $19 if 1 or $16 for 10 or more. I dont see the ones you mentioned.
