The first change I would make ( and made) on any 60-70 C10 would be the to front disc brakes -- then power brakes. Newer model drivers do not obey the car length for every 10 mph anymore and take your cushion away from you very quickly. You can use spindles with the 65-70 a-arms any where from 71-91 . You need to use the matching balljoints and if you stay with the 65-70 steering link -- overcome the outer tie rod difference. If you are drag racing and want to save front end weight -- use LD spindles -- 1" rotors - these have the A6 inner bearing.
