Re: 67-72 lowering question

They should work, but you will need the 73-87 ball joints and tierod ends.

Re: 67-72 lowering question

You'd be cheaper to just buy 71 drop spindles and not have the expense of changing the ball joints and tie rod ends.

It WOULD be cheaper but as long as you are down there working you might as well change the tie rods if they are 30+ years old. Just my .02
