Ball joint to short?????
I have a 68' c10. Had lower ball joints put in a few weeks ago. Well now that i am putting in the new springs the ball joints are to short for the spindle. Are all 67-72 1/2 ton trucks the same?

The 67-70 were different from the 71-72. They came out with disc brakes & changed some of the front end parts.

Did you change spindles?
Just changing springs should change anything with the balljoint.
