Re: Im new
I guess it depends on what you converted.
Per RockAuto, correct front lower for a 70 C10 with 350 is MOOG K6023. C20 with 350 is K7053T. Per Summit Racing, what you bought is for a 75-86 C10. |

I believe the k6117T is a correct 71-87 1/2-ton lower balljoint. I actually have a pair. The issue is they WON’T fit your c20 lower control arms. The balljoint hole in the c20 arm is larger than the c10 version. You’ll need to find a set of c10 lower control arms. If you can’t find a set of K6117T balljoints I have a pair of brand new Moog balljoints I would sell. $65 for the pair.

I assume you are using 71-72 spindles? What about the steering linkage? Did you change it also? Everything has to match the spindles you are using. Also look at the SUSPENSION section of the forum. Lots of good info there.
