63 Control Arms to 73-87 Spindles, Finally!

Hey guys here's the part numbers you need....

Upper BJ k6186 moog #
Lower BJ 505-1021OS Raybestos (tacked in and lip hammered in a bit)
Outer Tie Rod Es409RT
Inner Tie Rod ES323L
Sleeve from POL OR ECE to match the rods.

This will work very good if you happen to have 73-87 spindles lying around or the ECE group has spindles that match the 63 ball joint tapers...

The Control Arm alignment hole goes to the front on my 63 here is the final result with 3" drop spindles and 1" drop springs ...also new larger LCA u bolts.

Are 1963 control arms different than 1964-66? I always thought they were the same. Kudos to you for sharing the info and part numbers. I just wanna know if the same parts can be used for 1964-66 1/2T trucks.

I am pretty sure that 63-66 are the same...easy way to confirm is if the original ball joint numbers match then they are the same...

The '63-'70 C10 control arms are the same.
