 That would be correct for the tie rods, and tie rod ends (don't forget the jam nuts). They were zinc wash finish from the factory.

 I had a fairly new Panther X in 1977. I currently have a couple in various stages of resting. My original with the "v" pittman arm on the steering shaft had 5/16" steel rods with female rod ends like shown in the picture. The ends were both right handed not one left and one right like later models. I don't recall them having aluminum rods from the factory.
