Cool.
The aftermarket spindle companies make 67-70 specific spindle that will allow you to use your original 68 ball joints and tie rod ends.
(CPP, Western Chassis, Early Classic, PerformanceOnLine, etc)

If you swap to 71-72 spindles you will HAVE to change the upper and lower balljoints, and outer tie rods to make them work.

Most aftermarket spindles use the wider 1.25" wide rotors that are readily available at your local parts store.
Plus you can use cheaper 73-87 caliper, seal, pads, etc.
71-72 specifc parts are sometimes higher priced.

I'm a slow typer,... so I may be behind,... in my responses.
