But I know you can get spindles that use 71-86 disc brakes that will fit a 67 so maybe that is what is on there now. I guess I need to pull the existing spindles to be sure. Hopefully there is a part number on the existing spindles.
You need to get you parts breakdown straight.
It isn't 71-86.
It's 71-72 or 73-87 with 1" rotors or 73-87 with 1.25" rotors.
The balljoints and tie rods are different from 71-72 and 73-87.
Technically only the lower balljoints are the same between 71-72 and 73-87
