Wrong balljoint size and tie rod size.
Get them anyway.
Buy correct 63-70 spindles for $229 and use the new rotors and calipers from the van stuff.
Bolt on.

Sure they will.
But you also have to change the steering.
Centerlink, inner and outer tie rods.
Or,... move your outer tie rods to the inner location, and buy aftermarket tie rod adapters ($50), and new outer tie rods.
