Which ball joint-disk conversion????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hopefully an easy answer. I have a set of 78' 1/2 ton spindles that I want to install on my 68' 1/2 ton a-arms.

Which ball joint should I use for both the upper and the lower a-arm, the 71-72' style or the 73' and up? Will I need to change the a-arm to a newer version to complete this conversion?

Thanks!

Buy the ball joints for the 78 spindles and install them into your stock arms. They interchange without any mods required.
