Re: disk swap
Yes the ball joints are different. They look similar but the taper is different. Do you already have the brake booster and prop valve?

Re: disk swap
If you are gonna change the inner and outer tie rods you'll need the center steering link also. I'm currently in the process of saving up and getting the parts to do the same with my '69. I think there is a tie rod adjuster you can get that has the different threads for 71-72 outer's and your stock inners.
