Re: 1963 front spindles replacements - issues!
It sounds like the PO did a half a** job for sure. It's really hard to say what someone else have thrown together. A few pics would help to ID what parts you do have. Since you are at this point, I definitely would not go back to drum brakes. A disc brake conversion is actually one of the simplest upgrades to make to one of these trucks and well worth the effort. Take a look in the FAQ section under brakes. There are a few threads in there on brake upgrades. One of them is titled "Disc Brake Upgrade Reference Thread". All you need are '71-'87 front disc brake components. And yes you will need to change the ball joints to accomodate the spindles.
I would have to agree that if those spindles are '88 spindles, I would not continue that conversion until an easy solution is found for that one.
I thought you were wanting to convert your truck to a 4x4?
