Suspension Puzzle

I need help piecing my suspension together. i have a 72 truck, 71-72 ECE drop spindals, and a 63-70 Air Ride front StrongArm kit (too good of a deal to pass up).

it looks like the ball joints and tie rods are the only things different between 67-70 and 71-72. What is the best way to get the arms on my truck?

Thanks!
Josh

Re: Suspension Puzzle

Change the ball joints on the Air Ride arms. The tie-rods on your truck should fit the spindles since they are for the correct year. Of course, I have to suggest replacing everything while under there, you only want to do it once, right?
