66 C10 steering is crap

[Jmosselli]

Hey guys, I am in dire need of help here. My dad and I have done some work on his 66. We installed CPP tubular control arms, 2”? Drop spindles, disc brake conversion, and sway bar. We used the stock springs. This truck steers like garbage, doesn’t return to center and barely wants to steer at all. It does NOT have power steering. We got an extra set of ball joints that I noticed said they were for the 71-73 or something like that. I tried adjusting the caster into spec, but it took like 1/2” or more of shims on the rear bolt just to get it to -1* of caster. I have a feeling the control arms may be the wrong ones of something.

Does anyone have any input, or way to verify the control arms are correct?
