problem buying tie rods and ball joints?

I'm a little bit confused when it comes to buying new tie rods and ball joints
Most of the catalogues say 46 to 68 and 68 to 79
I have a 68 so which ones do i go for?

Balljoint front end? I have seen two sizes of taper for BJ front ends.. I think the factory used small (link-pin size) taper for 1968 only, then 'upsized' the taper for 69-on... but someone else may be able to confirm. Take yours out and match it at the spare parts place...?

I had the same problem with my 68. Everyone asked if I had the small ones or large ones (ended up being large) but in the end, they looked at the ones on my car to be sure as this was a changeover year.

think i have the small taper as the tie rods i did buy which are being returned are too big for the holes
which would mean i should be looking at the earlier ones right?

Ring Vintage they have them all in stock give them a call on 9789-1777
