Pretty nice product with "Mustang II" based spindles.

Don't trucks have 12" brakes?

Yeah, I'm not too sure about the Mustang II spindles and 11" brakes, but the rest looks good so far. I haven't seen any caster/camber specs yet, but I'll keep an eye out for more info. Usually Heidt's is pretty good though at offering big brake options, but that doesn't improve the tiny wheel bearings for the spindles. I've sat in on several Lunch-n-Learn meetings with Timken and other bearing suppliers and they showed how even a minimal amount of overloading a bearing can cut its L10 Life in half. This kit would be a home run if it came with something like a CPP MOD Spindle.

The Wilwood 4 piston calipers would be an improvement over the stock calipers, but 11" rotor is going backwards. Combine that with the Mustang II based spindle and I dont see the upside of it.

Thats ok, because it only fits 67-72's
