Need advise guys. So I bought all the ball joints, control arm shaft kits, tie rods, dropped spindles, springs, etc to rebuild and lower the front of my 71. Problem is once I started pulling it apart I realized I had rubber control arm bushings so maybe this isn't the original suspension from my truck. What is my best path to recover from this mess? Do I need to go buy a 71-72 clip and keep the parts I already have or can I use some of what I have and exchange the rest? Thanks for your help!
