Front Disc Brakes
Will the front suspension (A arms, tie rods, spindles, etc.) from a '72 half ton fit a '69 half?

If you have the complete truck, your best bet is to swap the entire front cross member. I guess it is supposed to be a real easy swap.

I have done it you will need 72 ball joints and the tie rod ends are diffrent but 72 tie rod ends will not work. Have the auto zone part numbers for the tie rod ends and sleaves if you need them.

If the truck is partially dismantled, a complete crossmember swap is probably the ticket...the 72 pcs will however fit, on your stock crossmember. my 69 longhorn was converted to a 1/2 ton (75 spindles). talk with Flip 66, or shoot me a pm, & I will try to get you worked out on the later (cheap parts). Best of luck, crazyL
