Yes, you should be able to bolt the complete crossmember from the 86 under the 68. There will be a couple bolt holes that need to be "egged out" . Good luck.....crazy longhorn

To swap the spindles, you need to replace the lower a arm (diff hole size on the balljoint), all 4 balljoints, tie rods, & center link. 71 up the centerlink & tie rods are different as far as lenghts on ends & sleeves, & hole sizes in the center link. i swapped my longhorn to a 1/2 ton using mid 70s parts, but alot of the guys are just swapping the complete assy to save on the parts mix. Good luck......crazy longhorn
