Front end rebuild kit question

[brandster]

My 67 has been converted to 5 lug front disk brakes at some point in its life. Im assuming someone probably used parts from a 72. From what I can tell, truck still sits at stock height and suspension is still stock.
My question is, the front end rebuild kits I have seen, the kit for the 67 and the 72 are different, so Im not exactly sure which kit I need. What parts of the rebuild kit (ball joints, tie rods...etc) would have changed when switching to 5 lug disk brakes? Thanks.

Do the spindles have any part numbers on them? The easiest way to deduce what you have is pop a tie rod end off and measure it with a micrometer, then go to a local parts store and have them pull the corresponding tie rod end for a 71/72 c10 and a 73-87 c10 and compare/match. One of Those two spindles are the most likely that were used.

I'd be willing to bet. You need 71/72 parts for everything that touches that spindle. Ball Joints, Tie Rod Ends. The upper ball joint has been replaced, probably with the 71/72 to fit the spindles. Lower ball joins most likely got replaced with the 71/72 also...

The inner tie rod ends are most likely 71/72 also since the 'tie rod adjusting sleeve' looks like the factory type, I'm not aware of a 'conversion' adjusting sleeve that looks like that.... It surely is the 71/72 connecting bar coming off the steering bar going to the tie rod ends.
