Are drum brake lower bsll joints the same as 73 disc? I see some places like firm feel list their kits as 65-73 while others do not. Some are 69-71.
Ultimately I'm considering buying a front end kit but I have converted my 6o to 73 spindles.

I dont want to buy in kit form to save some money then have to buy lower ball joints again

The Lower Ball Joints fit 1965 - 1973 " C " Body -- A L L --
Except 1966 - 1968 w/ Disc --- which are VERY VERY different....

Those " kits " you see are 100 % Chineseum...... Those " kits " undoubtedly don't have a Pitman Arm included, either....

You would be a lot smarter to put Quality parts in there --- as that is the back bone of a 6000 pound Pleasure Cruiser.... Can't be a Pleasure Cruiser as it is wandering with inferior Chineseum garbage.....

P.M. me, as per forum rules, if interested in Quality.... Craig....

It took me years to find NOS lower ball joints for my 68 Newport Custom with disk brakes... Next to impossible to find just like Rotors!!
ANY 68 and older Disk Brake parts are gold, if you can find some!
