Front discs

So in the FAQ section. It says

" 3) The 63-66 a-arms can also be used with any other spindle (71-72 or 73-87) with a simple ball joint change.
* The upper and lower ball joints and outer tie rods must match the correct year of spindle you choose."


So I should be able to go to the junk yard and just get spindles then order the correct year ball joints, calipers and rotors correct?


I have a 65 C-10. This seams to easy. Is it?

Re: Front discs

Yes BUT, with the later outer tie rods, they are bigger threads on the part that connect to the coupler. I believe you need to use an adapter adjuster that has one size on one end and the larger size on the other end. I believe CPP make these, maybe others. Another option is to swap the steering linkage to the same year and use all the tie rods from whatever year you get from the junkyard.
