The spindle , ball jts, tie rods and drag link changed. In 73 the control arms went to rubber bushings but i believe most of the parts interchange. No one offers drop spindles to accommodate the pre 70 drum set up. Beyond that these write-ups should help you!

It can be hard lol I started on this truck a little over 3 years ago and really I am not in the shape financially or physically but I'm not going to let it stop me hopefully lol

I started this truck backwards really. I built the motor first with intentions of driving it through the summer months and nothing seems to go as planned. I saved money and really went further with the motor than originally planned. Now I wish I would have went at it differently but either way I will get it eventually!!

Thanks to everyone for the help and advice and hopefully I will learn this forum better and keep participating and following along hopefully being able to help others along with getting help!
