I have a 69 drum bake truck and bought drop spindals that would fit 73-87 trucks. I know that there have been others that have made the swap but I have run into a problem with the upper ball joint not drawing up.
I replaced the lower ball joint with 73-87 and got the tierod ends.I was wondering if anyone had a problem with the upper ball joint when changing from drum brakes to a drop spindal from a 73-87 truck?
It also appears that the chamber? top to bottom is negative. Has anyone rum into this problem? Thanks Eric
