If you are right, see the outer tie rod end? Is that a 73-87 piece?

Re: Help identifying spindle. Pics included!
When you say they don't fit, what makes them not fit? Physically too small? I'm going to the parts store and getting the 73/87 ball joints. Then, if anything else doesn't fit right, I have a friend who has some 73/87 spindles, I'll get those from him and buy the conversion for the tie rods. Figure atleast then I'll know what I have. Thanks for the help!

Re: Help identifying spindle. Pics included!
I think you have stock GM 1971/72 spindles.
I found the part numbers for them online and the number looks to match your top pic: Quote:
I have a set of 71 spindles in the garage at home with good casting marks on them, I'll look tonight to make sure those #'s match.

Re: Help identifying spindle. Pics included!
I verified the Part Numbers with a set of 1971 GMC spindles I pulled off an all original truck about 15 years ago and they matched the numbers I had above. The full P/N was stamped on the back side, and on the front side they had "461 L" and "462 R", I guess to identify them easier. The numbers on the front were also way more "legible" than the P/N on the back, but you can definitely make out the 461 and 462.

Re: Help identifying spindle. Pics included!
I'll have to look to verify the numbers on the front, I don't think they match. I have some 71/72 ball joints waiting for me at the parts store now. I'm sure that's what they are. I really thought that's what they were from the beginning. Problem is, I'm positive I have the 67 ball joints in it. Glad nothing bad ever happened having the wrong parts in it. I bet it drives much better now! Thanks for the help!!!
