I-Beams

I have a 78 2wd F-150 and I bought DJM's 3'' dream beam lowering kit with poly bushings and tie rod relocators and new king pins. Then I seperately bought poly radius arm bushings for a 78. Now I recently found that the frame is a 1974 and apparently there are differences between up to 1974 and 1975+ Front suspension set ups. I know I need new radius arm bushings but will my I beams still work cause it looks like they will? Please Help!!!

The kingpins are different,66-74 are the same,75-79 are the same.Your going to have to find spindles/knuckles from a 75-79 to use with the new I-beams.
