Re: Difference between '63-70 and '71-2 spindles?

Excellent info — THANKS! Sure hate to spend more money on spindles as it's really tight already, but I'll keep my eyes open for a good deal from someone abandoning a project or looking to trade for the earlier style. Or, since I'll be changing ball joints and tie rods anyway, maybe I'll just get the earlier stuff if that'll work.

It's only money, right?

Thanks again,
Brent
