Jeremy--

My spindles are one piece.

For more pics go to

If it asks for a password use 1948truck. This project is going on 7+ yrs so some of these photos are old. I have a lot more pics that I need to add to my album.

I found my OE upper control arm and from center to center of the holes it measures 11-1/4. I could not locate the lowers, so next time I am at the body shop I can measure my aftermarket lowers which are the same length as OE.

I will be going with 20's. The current rims are a 15". Fronts are 6.5" wide with a 215x70 tire and the rear are 10" wide with a 275x60. I have mini tubs in the bed to be able to run the 10" wide rim.

I like the chop. It will look even better if you get the truck really low. In my opinion most people with a chop fail to get the truck low enough and the proportions look wack....

Thanks
