WTB: 60-62 half ton spindles and brakes
 

Throwing this out here - if anyone has done a disc brake swap on a 1960-62 c10 and needs to unload the original setup I have a buddy that could use it. He's got a 62 C20 that im helping him convert to half-ton running gear and keeping the drum brakes isn't a problem. Thanks!

I've got one but I imagine I'm a little too far

Re: WTB: half-ton front suspension
 

My small understanding is square front suspensions bolt up with a few new holes drilled.

Re: WTB: half-ton front suspension
 

They will bolt in with a little work. I did that on a 60 frame and gave away the old front end. Now I'll be doing a 61 so I'll have an extra front suspension. I hate crushing parts someone can use.

Re: WTB: half-ton front suspension
 

If you’re willing to ship just the spindles and backing plates that would be a start…i hear that hubs from a 63 and up will fit the spindle and have roller bearings so I’d want to update to those anyway…

Not me. Found on Craigs list

I would be willing to ship, I haven't pulled the front end yet.

Bumping this back up…

If you were in California.

I have the front cross member, a arms, center link, spindles, actually the whole front suspension for a 73-89 gm 1/2 ton. It has 5 lug rotors.
I was going to use it to convert my 65 that is on a 62 frame to disc brakes.
I have had some health issues come up and I actually have my 65 for sale. So my upgrade isn't going to get done.
You can have it all with the sway bar for $100.
I'm in Oregon City, Oregon.

Re: WTB: 60-62 half-ton front suspension
 

I’m sorry to hear that you are dealing with health issues. That sounds like a smokin’ deal, but for many reasons I’m looking for the half-ton 60-62 spindles and drum brakes instead of a full crossmember swap. We are also looking for a set of 6-lug stock steel wheels.

Thanks for the offer!

Re: WTB: 60-62 half ton spindles and brakes
 

Thanks for the kind words.
If you're looking for 60-62, does your buddy's 3/4 ton have torsion bars for the front suspension and you're wanting to go to the 1/2 ton 60-62 torsion bar front suspension?
I'm not as familiar with the 60-62 3/4 ton, but is it an x-frame?

Re: WTB: 60-62 half ton spindles and brakes
 

Correct, it’s the original x-frame with the torsion bar set up. Ball joints are the same part number for 3/4 and 1/2 ton trucks, but I think the outer tie rod ends are different…should be a straightforward swap though. He’s got a 6-lug rear that he’s planning to put in it so we need to swap the front to get a matching bolt pattern.

Re: WTB: 60-62 half ton spindles and brakes
 

I have 60-62 1/2 ton spindles and hubs if you're still looking. By the way roller bearing hubs will NOT seat properly on the early spindles.

Re: WTB: 60-62 half ton spindles and brakes
 

That’s good to know about the roller bearing hubs. I’ll send you a PM…
