72 spindles on a 65

I put 1972 1/2 ton stock spindles onto my 1965, I also used the 72 lca's simply because they were already painted and looked nice but didnt see any reason that I had to change them to make it work correctly. Everything else on the front end is stock 1965. My question is...Did I do it right??? Everything seems to have bolted right up and the ball joints fit. I also added a power steering box to it out of a 1983 chevy 1/2 ton. Any suggestions or comment would be appreciated...thanks.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

63-87 are basically the same thing geometrically when considering front suspension hardware.
