just scored some brand new 2 1/2 in drop spidles off craigslist. got them for $100 never been installed (still had the plastic caps on the treads). anyway my question is what year truck rotors and calipers do i get for these? they are from lmc they were for a 67 but when i called lmc they said it was the same part no for my 65. i want to do a front disc conversion at least until i can save enough to do the rears. hate to not be driving it just because if i cant drive im afraid ill lose interest. havin fun with my project thanks for any help

Are the spindles for disc brake set up? if not you really can't use them for that. If they are I am sure 71 and up parts will fit on them. Just take them to the parts store with you and try the parts on there so you will know. If you can get a picture of them for us we can probably tell you more.

Did you ask LMC which rotors and calipers fit their spindles? If they're for disc's then '71-'87 1 1/4" rotors and the same calipers should fit. I would contact LMC to be sure though.
