Re: need help with disc brake conversion
You will have to change the ball joints too. Swap the entire steering linkage from spindle to spindle too. It's a real fast swap that way.
If you don't want to spring the coin for the new 71 spec ball joints, just swap the entire 71 control arms onto your truck. That way you can reuse the donor ball joints.
