71-73 is not sufficient info, as late 72-73 used a larger inner bearing, different seals and rotors also.
Early rotors used to be really expensive, 73 were much cheaper, so 73 spindles pulled more $$.
Regardless, your buyer will want to know which they are so he/she can buy the correct parts.

So , that being said, what do I do ? measure spindles ? there are no numbers that I can see to reference .
 
Correct, there are no numbers.

Measure spindle dia where the inner bearing goes, and make sure both spindles match (DAMHIK!)
Measure the dia where the seal rides.

Look up on a parts site and find what the inner bearings are for the early and late spindles, and see if there are measurements noted on that site.
If not, try another website. RockAuto is good for detailed info, start there.

Compare bearing race ID to spindle dia, find hte bearing that fits, that tells you which spindle it is.

There may be a good thread on here, a disk brake swap thread, that has the bearing measurements also.

IIRC there's like a .010-.030" difference in bearing ID between the 2 styles, so must measure pretty close, a tape measure isn't good enough.
Need a $15 vernier or some other semi-exacting method.

You could also find the early and late bearings at a parts store and see which one fits.

Thanks will try that .
 
The method I gave is valid, however I looked at your pics again -

The swaybar mounting bracket (red) is not correct for a 65-73 LCA. It could've been a FirmFeel bracket added on (like I've done on my car) but the blue circle did not come with my FF parts. The LCAs I have show a plate near the green circle and no bolt, and don't have the blue-circled plate. The square blue plate suggests something modified for a different shock, because a 65-73 mounts the shock down inside the the LCA with a cross-bolt.

The UCAs I have on my shelf do not have the divot like yours (green circle) and have a much smaller U-cutout with a hole for the rebound bumper to mount.

On the caliper brackets - are there 2 small threaded holes (near the green spots) for the 69-73 style calipers that slide on pin-bolts?

With all that said -
Spindles will swap between 65 and 73, and I've not paid attention to whether the UCAs and LCAs have differences.

The caliper brackets will be a bit clue - if no green threaded holes, those are for floating calipers, not sliding pins. Assuming these brackets go with these spindles.

I would guess that these are 74-78 parts, but I'm not knowledgable on those. I know they take different lower balljoints, and your LCAs don't seem right at the tip for that. (you need a Formal expert to chime in)

The calipers that came with this are sliders , I have the calipers and pins. went out and checked things . you are right on the LCA,s. the sway bar and square pad you show are add on . Home made welds for sure. Rotors still had inner bearings , measured with calipers at 1 3/8" spindle and bearing . Caliper brackets have the holes , I
knew already the calipers were sliders.
 
OK the picture above is what I found on this site from an earlier discussion . These are the measurements I have. The same as in the picture. I ran a number on the inner bearing and it came up generic but did specify it was for a 1 3/8 " spindle ( ford F150 and replacement for some trailers. Bearing #L68149.
I'm going to say I have parts for a "73" Cbody . I have no idea what model
