1973-1985 spindles with 1970 control arms

[Razr]

I had a quick question. I purchased 1973-1985 front spindles with calipers and rotors and brake lines. Just need the front control arms to convert my 1969 3/4ton from 8 to 5 lug. My question is can I use 1970-72 control arms with the 73-85 spindles or should I get 73+ spindles.

after all the threads I've read here.I would say yes ,but there are ball joint specific. Google it under 67-72 3/4 ton spindle swap. or something close.

I hope u have the complete steering gear box and linkages end to end. because that is very year specific (tie rods ends.) and u can't buy a new center link. to my knowledge.

I have the 73-85 spindles, with rotors and brake caliper and rotors. I was thinking of getting 70-72 1/2 ton control arms(UCA and LCA) and using the 73-85 spindles. Or should I just get the 73-85 control arms with new ball joints and used outter tie rods from a 73-85.
