Re: please help

I mite be wrong but the lower ball joints are smaller on the 67-70 but you need to check an see I have a 71 frame but it already had disc brakes and the 73-87 spindles fit the old aframes ok

Re: please help

Your present controls arms are fine. You just need to install the later model ball joints into them. No mods needed to the arms.

Specifically, you want the outer tie rods based on the year of spindle used.

Classic Performance Products has everything you need to use the newer parts. I have 73 model spindles and brakes on my 63.
