hey guys, still no luck and no dice on hearing back from the vendor.

I say post the Vendors name then so everyone else has fair warning of the customer service they can expect if they choose to deal with them.

The vendor name is GMCPauls. Im very dissapointed, because I was stoked that I scored a good deal and it has now turned into this.

If I just can get my truck up and going i'll be happy.

Man, that sucks. But that's the very reason I went with 72 spindles and calipers/hoses/pads/rotors/tie-rod ends, etc. Everything can be bought from one of several local parts houses.

There are heavy duty and light duty set-ups on the 80 model trucks.. I ran in to the same problem when I ordered drop spindals.. The calipers, spindals, rotors, brake lines, bearings and races, are different..
I would just go to a gm dealer and run your trucks VIN and find out what brakes it has...

Heavy duty rotors will be 1.25in thick. The light duty will be 1.0in thick. The H.D. will also have a 1.375 dia. inside diameter inner bearing and the L.D. will have a 1.25in I.D. inner bearing.
