Thanks again guys!

You use the ball joints for the spindles you buy. If you get ones for a '73-'87, then use those year ball joints. If you get ones for a '60-'70, use those. Almost all spindle companies make spindles for specific years now. In the old days you could only get dropped spindles for '73-'87.

If you're buying used ones, make sure you know what years they are for before you buy ball joints.

Good luck and welcome to the forum!
