I've read the spindles are the same in 79-83 as the 76-78 just swapped left to right for the steering behind the spindle.

I've read that people have used the drop spindles from 84-..95? on the 79-83.. so why not use the drop spindles on the 76-78 pickups on opposite sides?

I understand the 79+ use the torsion bar suspension and the 76-78 use...
