c10 spindles on c20

[xxjr89xx]

i have a 1984 c20 that i want to convert to either a 5 or 6 lug...how would i go about doing this? can i just buy c10 spindles and mount the c10 brake setup?

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.

will do, thanks for the help!

Edit: new problem...checked their site...know of any place that sells 5 or 6 lug converted axles?

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

Good luck with your project,... and post up some pics when you get time.

In the long run, might be worth the subscription as for pics...i'll be getting some soon... going to be a long project. Low income + bills = long project

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.
