since my project consists of junk yard parts and local cl finds. I will start off with what I have. I bought 1971 c10 1/2 chassis But did NOT have the streering linkage or spindles. this truck had p/s to start because the p/s rack is still on. the chassis.. I managed to pick up a 1970 c/10 1/2 steering linkage end to end with a p/s rack form C/L. I also bought a ECE DROP KIT for my 1971 chassis.. at the time I knew that the ball joint where different between years but did not know tie rod where different aswell./ now today i tryed to put my 1971 drop spindels on my 1971 lower control arms but it seems not to fit ball joint and bore diameter seemed right but length was a issue u could not tread a nut because thread where still in bore.so then I tryed my 1970 steering linkage no surprise I did not fit only went half way in bore... 1970 tie rod where bigger..and seeing that I only have one streering center link for a 1970. im stuck. . So after reading countless threads. im trying to get the easiest and take the best course of action. I hope for some advice before I have to call ece or cpp. and go to the part store for fitment. I have read both these threads and maybe there something I did not catch..
