I assume the same for outer tie rods.

Yes, the Pro Spindle uses the 73-87 Upper and lower ball joints. They are available pretty much everywhere and are not expensive at all.

Rockauto has Moog's problem solvers listed right now for $21/25 or you can go with a much cheaper local autoparts store unit. Rock even has other brands listed from $3.50 each!

Thanks

Price wasn't my concern.
It was the customer knowing what needs to be changed.
Balljoints are easy.
But if the outer tie rod has to be changed that causes more issues for the 63-70 truck owners because of their smaller diameter 5/8" tie rods compared to the 71-87 11/16" tie rods.
I'm talking about the threaded end, not the tapered end that attaches to the spindle.

The 67-70 Spindle kit includes the steering arms that accept 67-70 Tie Rod ends.

The 71-87 spindle kit includes the steering arms that accept 71-up Tie rod ends.

Here is the data from Wilwood:

This should say:
The 71-87 spindle kit includes the steering arms that accept 73-87 Tie rod ends.

Per your drawing:
Looks like there is no application for 71-72 outer tie rods.
One steering arm fits 67-70 outer tie rods.
The other arm fits 73-87 tie rods.
And ALL applications use 73-87 upper and lower ball joints.

Thanks for the clarification.

That is correct, we suggest picking up the 73-up outer's on all 71-72 spindle sales.

No problem, glad I could help.
