M'k you have the driver's side knuckle but that's not going to help you without the passenger-side knuckle. The knuckle you have is not the correct one from what i can see. There should be some extra metal on top. It should look just like the driver's-side knuckle sans the steering arm. BTW, good luck getting that arm off. Took me 2 hours with a lot of HEAT from a blow torch and a BFH to get it off. Once you have it off, go ahead and get it machined perfectly flat while you are doing the passenger-side knuckle. KOZ Offroad on Ebay has the best prices anywhere for the high-steer arms and hardware.

This article will tell you everything you need to know. http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/flatop_knucles.html

I 2nd that you don't have the correct passenger side knuckle. They are commonly found on 73-77ish fullsize chevy Dana44 front axles. The axle from the '80 truck was a corporate 10-bolt,which was phased in in place of the Dana44 sometime around 1977.

Once you find one, it will run about $55-60 to have it machined flat and to have the holes tapped to mount up a high-steer arm
