What spindles will fit on a 67 C10?
I want to put front disc brakes on my truck.
The truck currently has been lowered with springs. I was thinking of buying 2' dropped spindles and then buying a front disc brake set up. Until I saw the costs. I am wondering if I can buy say a 1971 2' dropped spindle and then go to a junk yard and buy a disc brake set up for a 71. Does this make sense, or am I am way off track here. Thank you. |
you can use stock spindles from a 71-87... with the ball joints for that year truck
and yes you could get disk brake drop spindles than the disk brake stuff for a 72 ------------------ www.xframeimpala.com 68 4x4 short fleetside deluxe cab 327 air 56 big window short stepside 235 dual 1 brls 64ImpalaSS 327 70 C10 LWB fleetside custom/10 350/TH350 |

Lol, good point, I found out the hard way when I installed '72 spindles onto the 68, lets just say it didnt work out. Using a '78 front end now. No more uncorrectable positive camber.

Impalla, where can i get a classic industries catalog? Do they have an online site? I would like to look into those spindles, they sound like they might be just what I am looking for.

Why wouldn't the allignment shop be happy? If you go to a "good" shop, it shouldn't be a problem. I went to a very reputable shop here in town that's been around and family owned for over 50yrs and just told him what I had done to the truck. He had it completed in less than 30 minutes with no complaining. He said it was very easy to do.
