Can anyone help identify this front end? Someone told me they appear to be from a 73-87 C10. Right now it is on a 64C10 I bought from an estate. Any ideas? I want to put on drop spindles and springs but want to validate the donor first.....
Thanks!!!!! ![]() More pics at: http://www.whitehorsetechnologies.co...frontendid.htm Thanks in advance folks!

Re: front end id help needed
You will need to check the thickness of the rotor. If it's 1" thick it standard, if it's 1.25" thick it's and HD. They use a different spindle...

Re: front end id help needed
73-87 C10 drop components interchange between all years, only difference is the rotor thickness, as Ken mentioned.

Re: front end id help needed
Gotmud -
Are you going with 2 1/2" or 3" spindles? It's gonna look good if you can reach your goal. Your plan sounds good, but I didn't see where you were gonna drop the front. Sound like scope creep to me. ![]() BTW, when does 'annoying the neighbors' start. ![]() Good luck with your project. ![]()

Re: front end id help needed
People have run into clearance issues when using 3" spindles and 15" wheels. I am not sure about your W&T setup, but it is something to consider if running 15" wheels.
If I could do it over again, I would have gone with a 2.5 spindle and 2" spring.

DMJ, Western Chasssis and Bell Tech all make decent drop spindles with pretty much the same specs. ![]()

I think I measured wrong...it looks now like its 1.5". The pads were an exact match for a 73C10 pads at Autozone. Also now that I measure it I wonder if its already got lower springs. They only have 10" of travel...is that right??? Pics here: http://cdrawdy.blogspot.com/
