Smile Lower A arms

Would the 1968 lower A arms interchange to include lower ball joints with a 1972 spindel set up? both are 1/2 ton units. Attempt is to convert from drum to disc brakes. Any other parts for the front end need swaped out to make this work correctly and to be safe........... Thanks Larry

Re: Lower A arms

You can use the 68 arms, just swap to 72 ball joints. Also you may need to modify the steering stops to get your full turning radius(not a big issue). Best of luck, crazyL
