DJM WRONG BALL JOINT Question

[captnblood34]

Bought A set of upper and lower A arms off a buddy on the cheap.

Upper: P/N CA2355U, CA2356U, CA2455U 1963-1987 CHEVY C10

Lower: CA2356L-3 They have a 3" drop.

I'm 99% done installing ECE's 4/6 drop kit, except when I put their spindle on I started threading the castel nut......and threading it.....and threading it.
WAY past the hole for my cotter pin.

So, can I buy any brand ball joint for my specific make/model/year for direct replacement? or does it have to be DJM specific?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!
