Are the arms all the same on 67-72's? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at changing out the front spindles and rebuilding the front end on my 68. I have a complete 72 front end I have disassembled. Can I use the original a arms or not? Did they change once they went to 71? And are 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton's the same?

The lower ball joints are different on the 71-72 than on the 67-70. Since you have the 'whole' front end, why not just swap all of the arms...
