Some aftermarket spindles are configured to be a direct swap & use the original drum brake parts. Other aftermarket spindles are configured for 73-87's which require the specific disc brake parts. All OE (junkyard) swaps using OE spindles require the newer steering stuff and/or adapting the tie-rods to the spindles.
What parts you need depends on what spindles you purchased. If the mfr states you can use the original drum brake parts, then they're prob spindles designed specifically for that application.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
