I'm putting 2.5" drop spindles on my sons '63 C10...
The upper frame on new spindles are approx 1/4" thicker than the originals. So, it's impossible to get the castle bolt even close to being able to get the cotter pin in.
Does anyone know of any aftermarket UPPER BALL JOINTS with a longer bolt?
If not, can anyone think of any other ways to solve this problem?
Thanks
Been doing some 'googling'...
Will this work? They're 1/2" inch longer than originals...

Or these, which are 1" longer

My concern with these longer ball joint bolts is that the diameter of the hole will not allow the aftermarket spindle to travel any further up the shaft than they already are on the originals. Does that make sense?
