different tie rod ends, disc brakes and drum brakes etc.

I have a complete brand new steering set up that came off a disc brake chassis with 2" dropped spindles. I believe they were ECE but not sure.

Here is my problem. I just got my Mcgaughy dropped spindles and the steering set up does not fit in the wholes at all on the new spindles.

My questions are I know drum-disc the tie rod and different steering components are different, what is different ?

Has anyone used these spindles and know what components Ill need to get this stuff to work? maybe I just need outer tie rod pieces and the rest of the new pieces I have will work.

Looking to pick everyones brain on what they have noticed, know about or have pics to show... I am sure with all the different dropping going on that someone has run into this problem or will soon..

I would rather know I have all the parts to make the switch on my truck in a weekend without having to order more parts... Grrr

As you can see from the pics, the spindles hole is to small for the tie rod end to fit in to.

Heres pics of the spindles and the steering set up.

Mcgaughy Spindles part number 63176 on the box, and 6072R and 6072L on the spindles
