The stud is longer on the 71-72 version, I ran into the same thing when I did my front disk swap.
Just dont tear up the 67-70 drum brake ball joints and you can resell them here on the board and recover most of the cost of the new ones you buy.
O'Reilly Loans tools and they have a ball joint tool that makes removing and pressing in lower ball joints a breeze.

Ok that makes sense
Next question, can i just replace the spindles and make these work or am i going to have to change out the balljoints reguardless?
I do want to keep the disk brakes in the front, obviously im going to have to buy all new rotors, calipers and whatnot because these didnt come complete anyway but i have no problem buying new spindles thatll fit these controlarms, as i was planning on buying drop spindles to be able to go with a bigger wheel combo in the future (22s all around)
