Need a stock spindle 1968 C10 pickup
 
Hi guys. I'm in search of a drivers side stock drum brake type spindle. You'd think with everyone doing disk brake conversions and drop spindles there'd be a ton of stock one's laying around.
Any leads? I'm even having trouble finding anything new.
Thanks,
Steve

Greens Restoration in Cameron, TX. He's close to you and I would be shocked if he didn't have one.

As a matter of fact, I bought drivers side upper and lower control arms from him and he left the spindle attached...so I know he has others. That would mean I have 3 drivers spindles but I'm in Dallas.

Thank you for the responses! I am waiting for a response from a guy here on craigslist Austin.
If he doesn't come through, I'll definitely try the guys in Cameron.(sounds like a fun little road trip)
Grumpy old man- Thank you. I hope to find it closer, but if i can't i'd try to make it worth it to you for the trouble of sending it.

I have the set I pulled off my 69. Let me know if you are interested I will bring back from farm next weekend. Trade for a 6 pack of some local favorite!

Thanks Mike! I just picked up one from Greens in Cameron. Those guys have a lot of parts!
Hopefully today i'm going to get it back on the road. But know anybody around Austin who wants to freshen up the front end? I think i'll order a tie rod and ball joint kit and get it installed.
I think I talked to the guys at Speedy Align a while back. They might want to do it, but looking for recommendations too.
Thanks again!

Not sure how this is a want to buy issue? He asked for a part, some members said they might have them. Isn't that what this is supposed to be about? People helping other members? Or am I missing something. Nobody offered to sell anything, only a trade for a six pack of beer. Hell, I would take a six pack of beer for damn near my son's whole truck. LOL.

Be safe all.
