I need S10 drop spindle help... 93 vs 98...
So here is my problem... There is a smoking deal on a set of drop spindles, 4" blocks, shocks and a bolt in c notch off of a 93 S10 on craigslist.... I have a 98 S10 chassis that I am throwing under a 54 GMC I am buying this weekend... When I look at S10 drop spindles from MOST companys they list a part number for up to 94 and a different part number for 95 to 03 Except summit who shows their brand of spindle fits 84 to 03... Does anyone know the difference? Is it as easy as changing the ball joints or tie rod ends to make them work??? Why is summit different??? I even called Bell Tech and confirmed that their spindles are different.... HELP!!! Thanks!

Thanks Scoti.... I thought you would respond to this... I am going to roll the dice and buy them... If they don't fit I will throw them on ebay..

I just called him to verify the exact year of his truck & it's a 99 model. I know the spindles were used on various Malibus (78-81) & a 93 Blazer I owned.

The spindle nut is a metric thread on the newer spindles. I just bought a set of castle nuts with the right thread. I tried to get a hold of belltech in jan, but the whole place was shut down for inventory. Summit told me there was no difference. He was sooooo much help!

Blazers are different. They switched to a duel piston caliper in '98.

Right..... Blazers utilize the different spindle that uses the dual piston LS style caliper. There are dropped spindles offered for these applications as well (& LS1/C% vette brake adapter kits).

Wow!!!! I didnt know this, although it doesnt surprise me. I picked up some drop spindles and was going to convert to the S10 set-up with single puck calipers.

Look for post-98 S-10 Blazers for the right spindles & stuff. These use the separate rotor/bearing & hub assembly vs. the old school 1pc rotors so bearings are more expensive.

Re: I need S10 drop spindle help... 93 vs 98...
Thanx Scoti....just went to the Belltech site and read the install. Those spindles are righteous bucks. I just bought spindles, coils, shocks, blocks, leaf springs, and a front air-ride set-up for S10's for 200 bucks..its been years since I messed with these trucks and didnt know they made these spindles....
.....back to you c10addict!!!!!!!

I saw your post on Dinos thread (totally hijacking now) ....I think we met at Goodguys '07. I was hanging out with Dino and a few other people that day. Didnt realize it was you on here; I just remember Dino saying 'these guys are from Dallas'.
