Re: Lower ball joint problem on new arms

I reread the listing and it looks like the spindles are for the 65 ball joints. Now I'm hoping the 65 BJ will fit in the control arm. lol I believe they are the same OD so it should be ok. As soon as I get the spindles and brakes on I'll start ordering steering parts. The tie rods will be easy but I'll have to do research on the pitman arm. I still haven't decided on what steering box I'm using yet but that's a ways off. BTW, I putting a 6.0 in from a 2005 GMC 2500 so a power steering pump will probably be a problem also. lol I'm ordering ball joints tonight and will update later in the week when I have a chance to work on it. The bummer about this is that I have to take the lower arms off to swap out the ball joints, but I guess it could be worse. The last disc conversion I did on my 66 was in a gravel driveway so at least I have a shop now.
