Re: c10 spindles on c20

The c10 parts won't work on your c20 spindles.
But ECE, (www.earlyclassic.com) sells a "conversion spindle" that will allow the C10 parts to bolt on while retaining your stock c20 ball joints and tie rod ends.

Give Stan at ECE a call and tell him you heard about it here on this message board.

I think a complete rearend swap would be your best bet.
I think you should be able to find one for around $100.

Just remember you need to be a subscribing member to post WTB ads here.
Good luck with your project,... and post up some pics when you get time.

If you want 6 lug, on the front you can use early 90's light duty 3/4 ton spindles, rotors, and calipers, but you will have to change ball joints also.
