So I'm pretty sure mine was an HD, with a 3/4 ton front end. Someone reamed out a stock c10 spindle to get the front end 5 lug, or they just did some oddball swaps thinking it might be beefier for towing.

I swapped lowers today and all balljoints so I could put my drop spindles on, but having issues with the tie rod ends now.

Idiots sent me a 63-70 spindle, so my larger 72 tie rods won't fit. Pretty sure they also sent me the incorrect springs. It should be a 4.5" drop in the front and the truck is sitting on the ground (almost as low as my bagged '65).
