Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
Excellent news. Just installed a 79 complete front suspension crossmember under my 68 C30 yesterday and got rid of the old drum brakes. I will be getting me some of them drop spindles.

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
I should prob add this too just in case.... The spindles will swap over, but swapping will require the 73-87 supporting hardware as well (rotors, bearings, calipers, hoses, tie-rods etc).

So many of these threads never have an end to them. The OP gets his/her answer and then we never hear from them again. We're all trying to learn here.

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
FYI.... Wanted to let you guys know Summit has them for the same price w/free shipping. Especially good deal if you order other items to save even more plus they ship for free as well (we always need something right?).
