Re: disk brakes

If you want to run drop spindles as well, you can either purchase the spindles you want and get the 6 lug rotor or you could get a kit from somewhere like performance online or CPP.

If you want stock height spindles, pick up a stock set from a early 70s squarebody and buy a set of 6 lug rotors from CPP through Summit Racing.

I've got a kit from Performance Online on my 63 that has been installed and used regularly for about 7 years now. My kit came with new stock height spindles, 6 lug rotors, new ball joints and tie rod ends, adapter sleeves for the tie rods, and new calipers and hoses. My spindles are reamed to squarebody specs because the spindles reamed to 63-70 spec wasn't that popular yet.

It was nice to have all the new parts, but since I went with stock spindles, I could have gone with spending a little less by using stock squarebody parts. I just didn't know the interchangeability back then as I was new to these trucks.
