Ball joint question..NEED help!

I am looking into some drop spindles,they are for an 88 C3500 and I want to put them on my '79 crewcab C30 dually. I called the manufacturer and they said the difference is the upper ball joint. Does anyone know where I can get the technical info/specs on the two ball joints?(88 C3500 vs 79 C30 dually) Thanks

Oiy... the manufacturer of the spindle doesn't know?? I would think they would need the specs just to be able to make them. If not, NAPA might be able to help you.

If you are saying '88 new body ('88-00), vs '79 then I don't think that I would take the chance.
But if it is for a square body, I would think they are the same?

Maybe they think that your '88 is the newer style, like an '88 half ton? I would look the balljoints on a parts store website and see if they are the same part number.
