I went with Belltech because I've read good things about them. At this point I'm not sure the good things are warranted. Just got an email from Belltech saying that their spindles are within specs for them. I'm getting a pretty far variance from their spindle to the stock spindle I pulled from the truck. Example...the top taper on the stock spindle for the tie rod is .581...Belltech 3121 is .633. The bottom taper stock is .506...Belltech is .513. I pulled up all the tie rod end specs from Napa for the year ranges on a C10...none will fit the 3121 spindle. The top taper for measurement for a 1970 C10 tie rod is .62...bottom taper .52. That pretty much explains why the tie rod sits all the way into the spindle that Belltech is putting out.
