Nate-

I would like one, myself for my 53 Suburban project. For an idea on a price, is it just best to call you directly?

Nice work.

I have learned to choose my words wisely.

Nathan will do. I also have a friend Paul from MI that will be hitting you up soon also. Delmo is trying to track him down a truck first.

I assume that the 47-55 drop member be bolt in? Is that an accurate assumption?

I will talk to you soon.

Thanks.

Accurate assumption on the front kit being bolt in. It will be very similar to our 55-59 front clip.

Been doing 100 things at once so nothing seems to be going as quickly as I would like! LOL.

Progress nonetheless. Front Dropmember is getting closer!

We are running the C10 spindle from CPP... they keep the trac width narrower than the other spindles currently on the market. If you start buying parts a little early get the 63-70 spindle.

Curious why the 63-70 spindle?
I figured all your stuff used 73-87 spindles.

The steering arms hole for the tie-rod is smaller on the 63-70 spindle which makes it a little better candidate for drilling it to 5/8".

We recommended the 73-87 for years, and it works just fine with our kits. It has a slightly larger hole in the steering arm for the tie rod when compared to the 63-70. We have received feedback from some customers regarding some inconsistencies in the taper. Some reported that while drilling the spindle arm to 5/8" they only had to drill through as little as half the steering arm. This just makes the 63-70 a better option. The 71-72 and the 73-87 will still work, and are safe to use... but if you are going to purchase new spindles we recommend the 63-70.
