There might be other things different, but I believe just the ball joints are different.......

68 shortstep if you are going to do all of that you may as well go to a junkyard and strip all of the suspension off a 87 truck or suburban. That is what I did with my 72 2wd Blazer. Now I have all of the new style control arm shafts with urethane bushings instead of those squeaky steel shafts in the old suspension. Take all of it, center link, tierods and everything. There are so many of them that they are cheap. Just my two cents.
