Bagsy, does your current GQ heavy duty tie rod use the large female cab chassis tie rod ends? If so, these are the strongest of the lot and I would try to use these if possible.
What can be done is to re cut the taper on GU items to suit the GQ taper. I remember Cheezy was doing this in the past.
Regards Andrew.
