Front spindle help
I sure hope you don't get fed up with all my questions, but this is the greatest information source around, and with the search not working, this seems to be the best way.
I have a 1970 3/4 Ton with 8 lug spindles. I have a chance at getting all the front end parts from an '87 Chev 3/4 Ton van with 8 lug. Will those spindles fit my upper and lower control arms? What would be required to have them mount on my '70? Thanks Tom

Looked at Hollanders and an 87 3/4ton van is not a good swap. I have attached what Hollanders shows will work for a 1972 3/4 ton truck (I used 72 since it would have disc brakes):
You can get spindles off the following: CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 71-72 30 Series CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 71-89 20 Series CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 73 30 Series; non-removable carrier CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 74-75 30 Series; non-removable carrier, 13x2-1/2 rear brakes CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 76 30 Series; 13x2-1/2 rear brakes CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 77-84 30 Series; drum rear brakes, 13x2-1/2 CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 85-92 30 Series; I.F.S., drum rear brakes, 13x2-1/2 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 71-72 30 Series CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 71-88 20 Series; 4x2 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 73 30 Series; non-removable carrier CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 74-75 30 Series; non-removable carrier, sgl. rear wheels (1-1/4" width rotors) CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 76 30 Series; 13x2-1/2 rear brakes (1-1/4" width rotors) CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 77-79 30 Series; 4x2, 13x2-1/2 rear brakes (1-1/4" width rotors) CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 89-91 2500 Series; VIN models "R/V", 4x2 CHEVROLET VAN 71 30 Series; disc brake CHEVROLET VAN 72-73 30 Series CHEVROLET VAN 74-92 30 Series; sgl. rear wheels GMC FORWARD CONTROL 71-72 3500 Series GMC FORWARD CONTROL 71-89 2500 Series GMC FORWARD CONTROL 73 3500 Series; non-removable carrier GMC FORWARD CONTROL 74-75 3500 Series; non-removable carrier, 13x2-1/2 rear brakes GMC FORWARD CONTROL 76 3500 Series; 13x2-1/2 rear brakes GMC FORWARD CONTROL 77-84 3500 Series; drum rear brakes, 13x2-1/2 GMC FORWARD CONTROL 85-92 3500 Series; I.F.S., drum rear brakes, 13x2-1/2 GMC PICKUP TRUCK 71-72 3500 Series GMC PICKUP TRUCK 71-87 2500 Series; 4x2 GMC PICKUP TRUCK 73 3500 Series; non-removable carrier GMC PICKUP TRUCK 74-75 3500 Series; non-removable carrier, sgl. rear wheels GMC PICKUP TRUCK 76 3500 Series; 13x2-1/2 rear brakes GMC PICKUP TRUCK 77-79 3500 Series; 4x2, 13x2-1/2 rear brakes GMC PICKUP TRUCK 88-91 2500 Series; VIN models "R/V", 4x2 GMC VAN 71 3500 Series; disc brake GMC VAN 72-73 3500 Series GMC VAN 74-92 3500 Series; sgl. rear wheels SUBURBAN 71-88 20 Series; 4x2 SUBURBAN 71-91 2500 Series; 4x2 You can get upper control arms from the following: CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 71-72 30 Series CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 71-89 20 Series CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 73-78 30 Series; non-removable carrier CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 79-93 30 Series; drum rear brakes, w/o hvy. duty susp. opt.
