Ball joint compatability
I'm changing my '67 C20 from front drum to disk off a '72 C20. I know the spindle needs to be swapped and I know the ball joins are different.
My question is can I buy the ball joints from a '72 and use those with my '67 upper and lower A arms or do I have to swap the arms as well? Thanks! |

Re: Ball joint compatability
If the c20 arms are just like the c10 arms then they have the same configuration. So you should be good to use a ball joint from a 72 on your 67 without problems! If your going that in depth with a swap I would go all the way and change out all bushings since your in there. If you end up doing that you will need to remove your A arms which then you could bring them into the parts store and "test fit" them to verify. Good luck!

Re: Ball joint compatability
Thanks Ryan! I was going to order the parts online and press them in myself, I just wish they would give dimensions!

Re: Ball joint compatability
Yea I hear what your saying! I called the local o Reilly's and they gave me dimensions on ball joints. I guess that was for figuring out which year of spindle I had. I found out I had a 73-87 spindle so I bought ball joints for those years and bolted right up to my 69 A arms on my c10
