Hey Guys,
What year range spindles will bolt directly to 1965 1/2 Ton factory upper and lower control arms? :confused:

You should be able to use the '73-'87 spindles, if you change the ball joints to the later style.
Moog part #s K6136-upper, K6117T-lower.

I've got another post about this same question.
Can I use the complete front cross member , springs , a-arms , spingles, steering box and all?
Mine is a 65 c/10 non-power steering and brakes. The donor is a 82 w/ p/s and p/disc brakes. I was told that if you remove all the bolts and rivets ya could just interchange the two.
True?
Thanks, George Hood

George- YES it is true. I just started that process with my 65. The 84 C10 donor I had was exactly the same. I opted to swap in the 84 spindles (with 84 ball joints) since my 65 had nicer a-arms. Tie-rods are the same but the piece that bolts to the frame on the right side is different. Takes some modifying of the frame to get the steering box mounted.

Wil an 75 steering box and a - arms work ?
The 82 that I bought to use the front end out of just runs too good to strip.
Thanks , George Hood
