Some vans had the smaller car stuff (5x4.75" spindle/rotors). I don't know of a 'direct swap' dropped spindle. You could try an S10 or the mid size A/F bodies. Are you locked into the small car pattern? If so, the Lt. Duty 81-87 GM truck spindle is available in dropped form (Bell Tech) & you can use 5x4.75" brake stuff. It does not utilize the HD larger 1.25" rotors that trucks are better suited for (they use 1.00" rotors), but they are still considered 12" brakes.

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.* Last edited by SCOTI; 10-18-2009 at 09:53 AM.
