Front suspension Ideas Will it work?

Question 1...... I was wondering if I can use 73-87 a-arms, shaft and spindle on my 68 with out changing my engine cross member will it it bolt up to the 73-87 spindles.
Question 2....... If I can't do the above idea I was thinking of getting tubular a-arms but the sales rep told me I could get the 73-87 style ball joints that will fit the 73-87 spindles will these be a direct bolt on if I get the 68 style tubular a-arms with 73-87 style ball joints?

Yes, they'll fit. I put '76 A-arms under my '68.

Cool thanks I think I'm going to order a set of tubular arms and spindles 87 pick-up style I think they are a bit beefier tan the pre 72.

On a second thougt it just hit me by seeing some pics of suspensions I think I already have the 73-87 front suspension I/'l take some pics so someone can tell me but anyway I was thinking on getting this... .

Here is a pic if someone can see it and tell me if it is the 73-87 style or original 68. [IMG][/IMG]

Looks like it has a bushing 'shell' & is of the press-fit variety. If that's correct, it makes it a post 73 upper a-arm.

Either way, you can use 73-87 spindles on it.

Only issue I know of is that the tie rod hole on the spindle is larger on the 73-up spindle. I imagine you could just change outer tie rods to compensate.
