'68 vs. Newer Ball Joints
At first I was just planning a cheapo restoration of my '68, but the bug got me and I'm putting in an '85 front suspension. I bought all new ball joints that fit the '68 spindles. Will these same ball joints fit the '85 control arms/spindles? Thanks for your help.
------------------ Dream: '68 C-10 Custom with a 396 and a 700R4 Current Reality: '68 C-10, 250, 3 speed, parts in two garages, but lots of hope.

You will have to figure out the size of the holes on the spindles and figure out which ones will fit into the screw in adjusting middle part thingy. I did this a couple years ago but I can't remember the exact ones that would fit. I think I had a sheet with the dimensions of the tapers and the size of the ball joint stud and figured it out that way.
