Well, I completely rebuilt the front end on the 38 I ordered a new, improved drag link as a matter of course. (Ebay) Set the toe in at exactly 1/16th full left turn; drag link scrapes the tie rod I have the bend in the tie rod pointing down as to give it clearance. no avail; new drag link is too fat. Old one is Not bad at all. So I think I will just change the outer end and reinstall the old one. Right now it takes two men and a boy to steer it with the car not in motion. So I have to do something .

Pretty sure should be a period after 1/16". Then next sentence is "at full left turn drag link scrapes....etc.
get creative and bend it to fit! Leave the tie rod straight, bend the drag link.
I'd do it in a press.
No press, I'd slip a big pipe over it and bend in the vise.
No vise, I'd lay it on a couple 1by boards and run it over with a car.
No car or 1by's, run it across the frame and jack it up with a bottle jack.
I could go on, but remember when we were kids and you got it done with no tools and no help?
