Re: Sudden onset of "death wobble"?
The only one I could find for my '67 D100 was the ES62L. I test fit it in an extra tie rod I have and it is proper thread and taper looks the same.

Re: Sudden onset of "death wobble"?
If anyone else is looking for a D200 D/S tie rod end the ES416L will work. I had to trim about 1/4" off of the stub, and the taper is the same angle but a few thou larger than the ES140L. It went in far enough to get the cotter pin in, but if you have a 7° reamer it could do with a few thou more depth. All in all I'm happy. The 416 tie rod ends are super popular Ford/Jeep/IH parts that should be easy to find everywhere.
I'm also putting a stabilizer back on the truck. It had one when I got it and it helped. Say what you will about stabilizers being a "band-aid" but it's going back on.

Truck seems very happy with the new tie rod end (no surprise there). Between that and the new tires it tracks pretty well again.
