...replacement is metric?

Im sure if a vehicle was to get judged, the nylock nuts wont be overlooked
If you intend to get the vehicle judged, the entire repop link will get you a deduction.
The authentic link had one tie rod end integral of the link itself. The repops do not.
NOS links are frequently offered on eBay.
Oh, again, if judging is in your future, there are no castile nuts on any '37 - '41 Ford that I am aware of. Certainly (for sure) none on a '39 or '40.
