which direction to take?

Wow 72...quite a list. That should get me started, thats for sure.
If I end up keeping the LCAs, Ill definitely weld on the stiffening plates.
Thanks for the advice and the list.

One question on the LBJs that I have had a tough time with. Your list has the 74. I suppose I would use the later years cuz I have the later years conversion? Even though I still have the 69 LCA?
I know thats how it is for the UCA, but Ive been confused about the LBJ regarding that.

Thanks again for the list. Very helpful.

Correct, if you’ve got the 73+ disk conversion you use the 73+ lower ball joints. The LCA’s are the same 67-76 except for the sway bar tab mounting locations, so using the later ball joints is no problem.
