Guy on FB has bushings for the newer 74 up spindles, so you tie rod ends will work.
Cheapest way to go.
I also have a Willwood set for sale on this forum.

For me, I'd like a compromise...maybe a Carolina?  Still has seasons, but not the extreme hot of Florida and not the Winter (and taxes) of NY.

It seems like recently that no area of the U.S.A. has been spared from severe weather of some type. Florida's seasons are more subtle than areas further north, but I love that cold weather never really lasts long. We've had a few nights below freezing, but by Monday, the temperature is predicted to be 70? again.

That is all very sad.  Hard to fathom how it can happen.  I pray for your wife's cousin and others that have lost possessions and lives.  A lot of people complain about our NY weather, but really, we get 4 seasons: Spring, Summer, and Fall are nice, and Winter is really a short annoyance.  We're half way through it at this point.  We don't get hurricanes, tornados (very rare), earthquakes (very rare), tsunamis, wild fires or mudslides.  All in all, our weather isn't horrible, but the hot rods, motorcycles and other toys have to be put away a few months of the year. The NY politics bother me more than the weather.

We could sure use some of that "solidified dampness" here is So. Cal.. My wife's cousin lost her home (among hundreds..., maybe thousands) in the Altadena "Eaton" fire. The first picture is her location (small circled area near center). Red is destroyed, green some damage, black no damage. Second picture is the house..., well what is left of it.

We're at 12 deg today.  About 8" of snow yesterday.  Over the next few days in Upstate NY we could see snowfalls measured in feet south of Buffalo and up near Watertown.  I'm in the Rochester area and may get another 3-4" tonight and tomorrow.  Thursday we start a warm up with temps in the mid-20's.  Pretty standard stuff for us...stay warm and safe in FL!

Tuesday night here in northeast Florida, sleet, ice, and possibly snow are predicted!

I haven't done anything or posted anything in a while.  Just saying hello.  Stay warm to any that are in the Polar Vortex!
