Front drum drop spindles

Does anyone sell drop spindles for drum brakes anymore? Can't seem to find them. Or what other options do I have? Any help, pictures? Don't want to convert to disc brakes, on a budget.
Thanks,
Dan

Re: Front drum drop spindles

No drum brake drop spindles.
Almost every spindle manufacturer makes conversion spindles for the 60-62 and 63-70 drum brake trucks, to DISC BRAKES.
This is the best option for drop spindles and good braking on your truck.
Sorry its not what you want to hear.

Look at Summit Racing since they usually offer free shipping.
Good brands are:
Belltech
Western Chassis
McGaughy's
Early Classic Enterprises

IF you are talking about "drop pocket" control arms like DJM sells,... I'd rather use a drop spring, and stock a-arms.
DJM control arms have scrubline issues, that consider unsafe,... especially with 15" wheels.
