OK,... lets start at the beginning.
What width rotors? 1" or 1-1/4"?
71-72 and 73-87 calipers will work with the HD rotors and aftermarket conversion spindles.
(the only issue is if your truck has the light duty 73-87 1" rotors)
We need better pics.

Do you have steel a-arm bushings or the 73-87 rubber a-arm bushings?

There is no one spindle that fits 67-72.
It will be 63-70 (conversion spindles) or 71-72 or 73-87 HD or 73-87 Light Duty.

There have been issues in the past with people having to grind the caliper ears on the CPP spindles due to a slightly sloppy casting.
But the caliper should fit snug onto the spindle ears.

Please back up and take a few more pics of the a-arm bushings and the entire suspension.
