Help with spindle measurements please

[soonerfanru2]

Hello I have a 59 apache sitting on a 85 chevy short wide frame. I have installed flip kit and drop shackles on the rear. I ordered2 1/2 inch drop spindles for the front and they won't fit. The old spindles measurement on the bolt holes for the caliper is 7 inches center to center and the drop spindles measure 5 1/2 inches, also the brake rotor even is to big to fit mine is the 1 inch thick rotor. I know there is 1 1/4 rotor but I orderd the right one. Anyone know what I need to order bought these off of EBay and haven't heard back yet imagine that live and learn huh any help on what I need thanks.

They sent you the wrong spindles plain and simple. I cant measure mine now but here is some comparison pics of a stock and a McGaughys 2.5in drop spindle for a 1in rotor.

My old ones look like that but not my new ones the bolt holes are closer together and my dust covers holes don't even match up. Thanks what year did they sale me? Went to parts store they don't even sale spindles what's up with that?

I dont know what they sent you but if the dust shield, rotor, and caliper doesnt fit its not for a c10. Return the spindles and get new ones from a reputable source like summit, western chassis, bell tech to name a few.
