I was planning on starting my disc brake swap this weekend by swapping the xmember from a 75 to my 70. After getting a good look at it I realize that it would need to be totally rebuilt (every bushing or joint is shot). So now I'm leaning towards using just the spindles. I have a 72 that I am gonna use the steering off of (in pretty good shape). Here's the question...will the 75 outer tie rod fit in the 72 adjuster (since I can't use the 72 outer tie rods in the 75 spindles).

Or should I just use the steering and spindles off of the 72?

Gimme some input guys.

BTW the objective is the cheapest way to get disc brakes.
