Drop spindles
Do they make drop spindles that will work with the stock drum brakes on a 67 C10?

Re: Drop spindles
Not that I have ever seen. I think dropped spindles = discs

Re: Drop spindles
Drop spindles do = disc brakes. I have seen people modify their control arms to acheive a drop but the best way is to get shorter springs to lower a truck with front drums.

Re: Drop spindles
I just bought new rotors, loaded calipers, pads, bearings, and seals for my 71' from PDQ(advanced) for like 108 and change. I also bought a master as well and that was around 16 bucks.
