Spindle Identification

Hey guys.

I recently bought a truck and trashed a wheel bearing along with my spindle. So I thought the truck came with 73-87 drop spindles since it had been converted to disc brakes some point in time.

The rotors were 1" rotors, anyway I ordered a set of 73-87 drop spindles and the ball joint holes were way to large. So i thought I could just buy 73-87 ball joints along with a tie rod end. Well the 73-87 tie rod end was way bigger than what was on the truck and would not work unless I changed out the corresponding components of the steering to match. So I sent those back an have 71-72 spindles on the way, but recently went to a salvage yard and picked up a 72 truck spindle and even it is different than whats on my truck, the spindle shaft has a bigger diamater and the ball joint pads were much thicker along with the ball joint holes being almost to small to pull the ball joint all the way into.

SOOOO... Im at a loss for words as to what spindle I have,, can somebody please give me light, my truck has been on jackstand for 3 weeks because of this......

thanks in advance
