Re: 62 drop spindles ??
Not that I'm aware of....I've stared at a few catalogs over the years and never seen any. If you're lowering, you're converting at the same time I guess.

Yeah your best bet would be to do a front suspension swap, then you get disc, way cheaper ball joints and drop spindles that are easier to find. Works out all the way around

Re: 62 drop spindles ??
If you want to stay with 6 lug wheels, there are 2 ways to do it. You can buy aftermarket 6 lug rotors to fit the '73-'87 spindles, or you can do it with OEM parts. Check out this thread for some more info on this.

Re: 62 drop spindles ??
There are no aftermarket dropped spindles for drum brakes. You must upgrade to discs, or, use stepped/dropped lower a-arms.
