Re: A '66 Stepside SWB Transformation, Maybe?
Welcome!
There's definitely a variety of ways to go about getting the 66 back on the road. I did my 63 with squarebody ball joints and spindles in the factory control arms. If you don't want to swap out the entire cross member, you could do the same, and then use the entire steering components from the square to have power steering and tie rod ends without an adapter sleeve. Again, several different ways to get the truck back on the road, but my preference is to go disc brakes.
I'm looking forward to see what you decide and see your truck back on the road!
