Manny, if you use the '73-'87 idler arm along with the rest of the '73-'87 steering linkage, you will need to drill new holes to mount the idler arm. I prefer to use the complete '73-'87 steering linkage when doing a conversion. As for the sway bar, most trucks prior to about '65-'66 don't have the frames or the lower control arms drilled for a sway bar. Therefore you need to drill the holes to mount one on the earlier trucks.
