Keep us posted of your progress.

I would use the steering linkage off the '72 also.
(centerlinks and all the tie rods)

Your '70 inner tie rods are 5/8" diameter, and RH thread.

The '72 outer tier rods are 11/16" diameter and ALSO RH thread.

The 72 center link is different.
(larger holes for the inner tie rods than your 70)

Tie rods and center link are either 63-70 or 71-72.
