Does anyone run these on there truck? I have a set that I bought used but before I go through the hassle I want to make sure they are a quality product.
Any help would be great. It is going on a 67 C10 swb fleet.

Thanks

I've used there parts on my 98 daily driver & my Dads 76 C-10 with no problems at all. I've been very pleased in fact.
But I have not personally used them on a 67-72.

Thanks Jwall for the feed back.

Has anyone used these on 67-72 yet?

I have used them on two of my trucks, my 67 and 72. I had no problems, i was running ralleys though. A friend of mine was running 15" halibrands and he had to do some minor grinding on the his western spindles for proper clearance. I know with early classic spindles you get a great product with no mods needed no matter what wheels are ran.

Thanks for the info p_rubottom. I want to run 18" in the front and 20" in the rear. I am new to all of this so I am trying to eliminate costly mistakes by asking questions.

Thanks again

I've got them on my 72. No problem running 17's or Rally's. If you order dropped spindles through CPP, this is (or used to be) what you get.

Thanks Dynomutt! I will go ahead and start putting them in.
