I think 'very similar' would be a better description, Doug.  Also the 
Tri-Five Chevys that preceded them and apparently, the half ton trucks 
that followed. But, as soon as one thinks they are the "same", you find 
out that the lower ball joints on the FC's have a larger stud, the 
springs are different, and other such 'not quite, but nearly trivial' items.

Inner tie rods ends? you tell me, are they bad? Or do you just want 
"new" ones? Don't forget the idler arm.
