Anybody running 3'' belltech spindalls on 67-72???

I have a 72 with beltech spindalls I noticed the tie rods didnt fit the holes in the spindall. Has anybody had this problem??? I bought ends frome a 88 chevy but I dont think they are seated correctly. Any thoughts would be good.

What year is your truck? Depending on the inners, you may need either adapter sleeves or new outers from a 73-87, or both.

What year Belltech spindles?
The ball joint and tie rod break down is as follows:
65-70
71-72
73-87

If you have 73-87 spindles on your 72 truck,... you will need to change the upper balljoint and outer tie rod end.
