Glad I caught this post as I'm swapping '93 LD 3/4T spindles onto my '68 C10. Started checking all ends for both years & discovered the '68 has one LH & one RH thread outer in the 5/8". The '93 donor has 11/16" RH on both.

Looks like I'll be swapping Inner & Outer on one side before I can complete this deal.

Raggedjim,
Thanks for the info on the cheaper sleeves. Hope I can get them sent out tomorrow to wrap this up & start driving her soon.
