Everywhere I look at parts the tie rods simply use a nut on the tie rod end threads to lock up against the tie rod itself. Mine are different...the tie rod is split at the outer end and there a pinch fitting to hold onto the tie rod end. Mine is a 1970. Are these stock tie rods for my car or something else?

The version with a lock nut with the tapered collar on each end is just a modernization of the original tie rod. Better technology. The single lock nut appears with the advent of the "turbo" tie rod. The earlier versions have to have a lock on each end because both ends have to turn. The inner end is fixed, unlike the inner socket used now.
