Figure out what year range spindles you have now, and go from there.
Some of the 81-87 trucks had light duty 1" rotors.
These rotors requires different spindles, bearings and calipers.

But I agree,... find what you have now via the balljoints and outer tie rods.
(specifically the upper balljoint or outer tie rods,... since the lower balljoints are the same on 71-72 and 73-87 trucks)
