Drop Spindle for 5x4.75 Bolt pattern??

[CROWN]

What drop spindles are you guys using with 5x4.75 bolt pattern? I have a 67 truck that im in the process of switching from 5x5. I understand you have to use a 1inch rotor. I want to run the ECE 4/6 drop but run different spindles. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

When you say spindles, you are talking about for the front of the truck,
2WD correct?

As far as the spindle goes, they should all be the same. The difference is the rotor that you need for the bolt pattern. Check CPP. they have great package deals on their brakes. For drop, you can do the 2.5" drop spindle and a 2" drop spring.

If you are confusing the rear axle, you will have to swap the axle or have it plug welded and drilled for the new bolt pattern. I don't mean this in a way that you think is degrading to you, I just want to make sure we are on the same page.

What's the reason for switching to 4.75? That is a GM car/S10 truck bolt pattern. If you get new spindles, the ball joints and tie rod ends may not fit right. Also, what rear are you swapping?

To answer your question you need the 73-87 Light Duty drop spindles, calipers and bearings.
I would use a Belltech 3200 spindle.
Then you need 1992 Camaro 1LE (performance) rotors.

This creates other problems.
Now you need 73-87 upper and lower balljoints and outer tie rods.
The easy fix for the tie rods is to use a 73-87 centerlink and inner tie rods also.

Personally,... I would just run a 5x5 lug pattern wheel.

Thanks for all the input guys. For some reason all of the wheels i want are 4.75 LOL. The truck is a project that I got from another guy. Ive already blew the frame apart and had it powder coated. I dont mind buying 73-87 stuff because all the ball joints etc etc needed to be replaced anyways. Keith you gave me the exact information I was looking for.

My bad. I was thinking 5x6. I apologize.

Thanks lolife for the info. I got my spindles in last night. Ive been looking around for the 1992 camaro rotors. Where are you guys getting yours? I want to make sure i get correct ones. Id like a pair of drilled and slotted ones if they make them.
