Great info, thanks. I have some decisions to make, I will pick from:

Get center link and tie rods from 71-72. If parts I find are without idler arm and pitman arm that would be OK because those components from my 69 will work. This way is interesting because I would end up with no special conversion components.
Get conversion sleeve and outer 71-72 tie rods and re-use my 69 outer tie rods as inner. If I go that way I am leaning towards the DCA RaceFab conversion sleeves mentioned in this other thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=328438
Get conversion stock-height spindles and use them with my newly obtained 71 rotors and calipers and my stock 69 steering components.
