69 C20 Spingle Threads
 
Going back together with my C20, and have found that the threads on the drum brake spindle is messed up a little. Don't want to force it, so need to find a thread chaser or possibly tap and die for it. Any one solve this problem before? Does any one know what size and thread pitch these are?

Thanks

I'm not sure about the 2wd spindles,but the 4wds use an odd pitch. I could not find a die or thread file made to work...and tries them all. It would take a special GM tool. I took a jewelers file and dressed the problem area enough to make it work. It was like a 15 per inch pitch.
