Do you think CPP shipped me the wrong spindles..??

Do you guys think CPP might have shipped me the wrong spindles.?

My truck is a 1967 C-10 (6-lug)

You can see in this picture the outside measurements where the ball joints and A-arms would attach is roughly 8 and 1/2 inches (it is actually more like 8 inches because the ball joint surface is recessed).

The CPP spindles I ordered are their "Modular Drop Spindles" part# CP30106-2 for a 1963-70 although there is no part number on the casting.

You can see in the photo of the new spindle that the outside measurement is more like 9 inches.

Does anybody have any ideas.?

Is this normal for the new spindle to be 1/2" taller.?

I'm pretty sure my truck is original (but you never know).
