Ball joints used with Disc conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The previous owner did a front disc conversion on my truck. He apparantly was to cheap to buy new ball joints as the current ones are torn. What I need to know is which year do I need to get ball joints from? Are the 69 ones the same as the disc brake years or do I need to get ones from a different year. This is a pressing issue cause I have heard the rumors of ball joints failing on these trucks if they aren't properly cared for. I also need to get some new springs in the front so I have some suspension that works.
