van spindle swap in 68' C10 HELP

[damageinc2785]

so i got a pair of spindles from an 86 G20 van for the disk brake swap in a 67 c10.
i used the correct ball joints from the van and ordered outer tie rod ends
the tie rods are larger then the factory C10 ones
i then realized they will not fit in my factory adjusting sleeve for the tie rods
i ordered g20 inner tie rods and adjusting sleeves
the g20 inner is also too big to fit in the steering center link now

any advice?
do i use the van center link?
do i need to change all the steering?
am i just going the wrong direction here

thanks
