    Is the 66 chevy c-10 front suspension ball joints the same size all the way to a 87? I was looking at a 85 chevy, i was going to use the 66 control arms replace the ball joints and use the 85 spindles and drums so i can have disk brakes,can i use the master cylinder off the 85
    what about puting a front sway bar?
    thanks carl

    I do belive that there are a few diffrences but the frame width is the same through 87. 64-72 is the same 73-87 is the same. You can unbolt the entire crossmember assembly and install it on your truck. The brake booster won't work with out a little fabrication. I think the brake pedal throw is diffrent.

    You have a good plan there. Don't forget the tie rod ends as mentioned in my other post. I think Drabo is right on the master cyll.
