That would be great thanks. Anyway my plan is to use spindles, calipers, rotors that I can get here off a 73 Olds custom cruiser. It uses #5006R heavy duty 1.25" rotor which is the same part as C10 71-87 application.
Bearings listed for both are front outer
BR3 Cone radius=.0500"; Width=.690"; Standout=.1400"; Outside diameter=1.9687"; Inside diameter=.8437"; Cup radius=.0500"; Cup length=.5500"; Cone length=.7200IN
Front inner:BR5 Width=.710"; Standout=.1600"; Outside diameter=2.5630"; Inside diameter=1.3750"; Cup radius=.0500"; Cup length=.5500"; Cone radius=.1400"; Cone length=.7200IN
Then purchase the six lug conversion rotors for a C10 71-87 from CPP & if my theory is correct that should work? My main concern is if the 73 (B/body) full size car spindle is the same as the 77 up 12" rotor( B/body) I know those spindles definitely bolt in between the the camaro A arms, its a common 2nd gen upgrade.
The differences I have worked out from early to late 70s spindles are the stub size for the bearings, "which is what I need for the Cpp rotors) Lower balljoint is differnent "that can be worked out" & tie rod which shouldn't be a big issue. As for the rest of the dimensions I'm not sure about, I dont have the two to compare.
