73-87 dropped spindles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone used 73-87 dropped spindles on 67-72 trucks? I heard of it being done, I just don't know exactly what all I have to change out. I'm thinking tie rod ends and I don't know if the my same ball joints will work on those spindles. Any info will be appreciated.

I paid $300 for the complete front suspension which includes the disk brakes..... might be cheaper to go that route just fyi
