The rotors on my 83 are only 1 inch thick.Will they work on my 66?I plan on leaving my cross member in there and swapping the a arms and spindle to my 66.

Yes,... kinda.
You will need to use everything from the a-arms out.
(I assume your 66 is a half ton truck)
Since you are converting to 73-87 parts you need to use all the steering linkage to make things easy.

Those 1" rotors require you to use other 1" specific parts, like the calipers, bearings, and spindles.
So if you go to the parts store (or order drop spindles) you have to tell them you are using 1" rotors.
It makes a difference.
