Lower Contorl Arm Issues

Soooo, converting to disc and airbags on my 70 C20. Got my new drop spindles and the upper/lower balljoints and tie rod ends are too small. No problem. Went to moog, got the bigger size ones, which i assume are C20 ones. upper, good to go, tie rod end, good to go. Lower balljoint I think is too big for control Arm? Does this mean my truck had C10 control arms on it? Should I get stock c20 lower control arm, or since I'm going with bags, get a aftermarket or different lower control arm? Let me know what you think.

thanks guys.

Re: Lower Contorl Arm Issues

What "year" did you buy the disc brake spindles for? 67-70 and 71/72 used different ball joint sizes.

For 70 from CPP The moog balljoint fits the spindle, but it doesnt look like the ball joint fits the lower control arm.
