Do you guys remember em what year model they come from it part number by chance?

So even though people call them 1-ton TRE's, the ones most commonly used are from 1/2-ton and 3/4-ton applications, as they have 7/8"-18 threaded shanks, versus the 1-ton applications that had 1"-16 threads.

That said, there was a big range of applications from 1969-1991 that used some or all of the parts noted below, but for simplicity, I would look at the 1981-1986 Chevy K10/GMC K1500 trucks.

Common part numbers from memory, so let me know if I need to edit any of these for future reference:
ES2233L (passenger side TRE, LH thread, hole for drag link)
ES2234R (driver side TRE, RH thread)
ES2026R (drag link)
ES2027L (drag link)
