Re: Momma's Grocery Getter Suburban Project

I did all the math and found that I'd spend more money on replacing all the spindle-out parts for a '72 than to buy a new '63 disc conversion. So the plan is to rebuild the '72 control arms and use the center link to make a power steering swap a little easier in the future. I know the '63 outer tie rods and '72 inner tie rods aren't compatible, so I'll rethread the '72 inner. I tried it on the old one and it turned out perfect. I'm hoping to be able to sell the '72 spindles along with my old front end assembly as a bolt-in kit for anybody local who might be interested in it.
