The adjusting sleeves for a 1971-72 is the same as the sleeve for a 73-87 (the tie rods are different but have the same threads).

The 73 up outers will not fit the 71-72 spindle arm. I think the taper or maybe the thread length is different, can't remember off the top of my head. I used 73 up drop spindles on my truck because they were cheaper for some reason...

I double checked this on Autozones website.
