    Some Chryslers and Fords of the period used the same tie rod end. Don't know if those varieties are cheaper than the Hudson item.

    I think 40-48 Ford pass is the same. Tomorrow I will check the Moog and Thompson catalog and post the. numbers.

    Kanter might have them though probably not the cheapest of your options.

    Thanks everyone!

    NAPA here has the 269-2240(L) and 269-2241(R)tie rod ends, and though they don't identify them as fitting Hudsons, they do fit a number of cars of the stepdown era, including Ford. I'll take L & R threaded ends down to them that came fom a '52 Hornet, one of which bears an H with a triangle and hexagon stamped on the bottom. I understand this is original equipment, so should be good for comparison. Will post results. Price quoted as $42.xx per.

    I have these numbers in my parts list

    Tie Rod End Auto Star ASES140R R outer, L inner 36 Thru Stepdown
    Moog,Mq ES140R SPI 401-1005 Auto Zone 26385 NAPA 269-2241

    Tie Rod End Auto Star ASES62L L outer, R inner 37 Thru Stepdown

    I contacted Rockauto.com and although they didn't list them under Hudson, they have the Moogs at least under their Part Number Search at $33 and $38 respectively. They ship next day. Service and parts are great.

    They list a lot of parts for Hudson at great prices.

    I first got a tailgate latch from them, a Dorman part. Local Toyota dealer quoted $87. They sent me one for $38 plus about $4 for shipping.
