Searched, but didn't find the answered i was looking for.

I have a corp 10, minus everything ball joints out (but has inner & outer shafts). Will 72 knuckles out fit on this housing. I know 73+ will. but not 100% sure due to the smaller axle joints.

Not positive on the chevy knuckles but I know some drum brake d44 knuckles have the spindle bolt patern indexed differently than later knuckles, just something to check if you plan on running discs on it.( the caliper bracket or the knuckle will have to be re drilled) I'm sure someone will give ya a definate answer here shortly.

The spindles/hubs are different since the '71 - '72 are "small bearing" stuff but the knuckles are the same.

so does that mean the outer shaft which is in the 73+ and corp will not work with these spinal and hubs?

Nope just that the bearings are smaller for that spindle.

You might even get flat tops with it. I picked up an early 70's d44 with external hubs and flat tops last year. For some reason flat tops are hard to find around here.
