Part number for
63-70 cpp 3010-6-2
71-72 cpp 3010-6-3
73-87 cpp 3010-6-4
These part numbers are for new ball joints and they are $100.00 for all 4 and this is a retail price and forum price on these will be $90.00 for the set

Keep in mind these spindals will not push your track out all when you install them on your truck

These spindals can only be used for disc brakes only

The factory tierods can be used as well with the spindals or you can buy new ones if you would want to.

I think I may have confused you with my questions so I'll try and clarify.

When GM added disc brakes to the C10's in 71 they shifted each wheel out approximately 3/4" more than the drum brake spindles and they did the same with the 5 bolt rear ends to makes sure the front and rear had the same spacing. When drop spindles came around they pushed the wheel out an additional 3/4". My question to you is when you say "moves the wheel in 3/4" per side" is this in reference to the stock 71/72 spindles or compared to the drop spindles?

Regarding ball joints and tie rod ends, the 63-70, 71/72, and 73-87 are all different parts and the spindles will be bored for one of the three, unless they offer three different spindles.

I'm not trying to be a pain, but this information is important before I decide to order.

Thanks
