71-87 calipers
71/72 DB rubber lines

this said i'd check to make sure you have the correct outer tie rod ends and double check the ball joints also
When using 1988 c2500 rotors, is there a way to use 7/16-20 studs to match the original 1970 ones? I noticed that the threads on an 88 are 9/16-18 with a .623 knurl diameter. The 7/16-20 have a .473 knurl diameter.



OP, have you checked a 1987 outer tie rod?
