72 upper arms and spindle fit?

Will the upper a arm and spindle from a 72 1/2 ton fit my 65 lower control arm? I have a drop pocket lower and don't want to lose it while doing a swap to disc.

Re: 72 upper arms and spindle fit?

Lower ball joint is different. You need to swap it for a '72 balljoint,... if that's possible with the aftermarket lower control arm. Also the outer tierods will be different. Search this section for "disc brake swaps". It's easier to swap all the '72 stuff (steering linkage included.) If you have to buy new,... it's CHEAPER to use '73-'87 stuff.
