I have a Dana 8 lug rear end already in my '71 c-10 just for now. I'm looking to add some 8 lug spindles to the front suspension so I can roll it around.

I do not feel the 5 lug ball joints will fit the 8 lug spindles. Can I get away with changing just the ball joints and not the a-arms?

Thanks for any help.
