Help with 70 cpp front suspension on a 71

Recently purchased cpp tubular an arms, drop springs, shocks and 2 inch drop spindles for my 71 from a friend who used them only for a mock-up. What I just found out is 67-70 trucks are different from 71/72 trucks, what problems will I run into installing these parts?

I’m considering buying the cpp front linkage kit to make everything fresh, but what kit should I buy 67-70 or 71/72?

I also need upper ball joints for the arms, and have no idea what ball joints to buy.

I plan to call cpp to bother them with these questions, but figured I’d drop in here to see if anyone can help me

Balljoints and steering component need to match the year spindle you are going to use.

Ok. So if I’ll have to order the 67-70 cpp linkage setup, and I should have no issues with fitment ?

ball joints I’ll have to match those 63-80 spindles.

How about my existing hub and rotor, will they work on the new spindles I have ?
