Good News - My bags are in, my tank and compressor are mounted. Just need to run the lines, and wire the compressor.

Bad News - I bought new ball joints for my upper and lowers. The bottom ones are a little too short. I was able to get the castle nut threaded, but not threaded enough to put the cotter pin in. Then I realized that this truck had to have some sort of a swap on it since it's a '70 and I have front disc brakes. I bought the ball joints for a 70 C10, Raybestos Professional line. So now I am thinking that I should try the 71-72 ball joints? Any ideas?
