1967-72 Suspension

Hello everybody. I have a 1966 GMC 1500 (same thing as the 66 C20). I was reading a thread about converting to disc brakes on 67-72 trucks using 88-98 brakes and they said 88-98 lower ball joints will press into 68-72 c20/c30 lower control arms. anybody know if the same ball joints will press into 1963-66 lower control arms?

Re: 1967-72 Suspension

I would look up part numbers for a 66 and a 68 C20 and see if they are the same. That should give you your answer.

I thought the GMC 1500 was the same as a C10?

A GMC C1500 and a Chevy C10 are the same as far as I know. I don't think they were different from '63 - '66.
