C20 Spindle Swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sixxer · 08-01-2010, 07:28 PM

I searched around but couldn't get a definite answer. I have a 1964 Chevy C20 and I have a complete 5 lug disk swap from a 1972 Chevy. The issue is should I be installing 1972 1/2 ton ball joints and tie rods or 1964 1/2 ton ball joints. I know most people recommendation is to swap all the control arms but I have buckets for bags welded into these arms and don't want to loose that, so much time and money down the drain if I was to swap them out. Anybody have any ideas here?
