Re: 1963 front spindles replacements - issues!

Okay, I have pictures and video...

Outer tie-rod, driver side:

Outer tie-rod passenger side, resting position:


Outer tie-rod passenger side, pushing up on it with my hand:

Lower ball joint passenger side:


Upper ball joint passenger side:

Upper ball joint driver side:


And here are the videos for driver side, and passenger side. It's not the best video, so I apologize in advance, but it should give you a better idea.

Hope this helps. From what I gather from everyone's feedback so far, I should be able to replace the spindles and ball joints (tie-rods were probably never replaced, hence the looseness, so they can stay) with the drums and ball joints from the donor truck.

Yes?
