2 1/2 drop spindles from ECE

I have a set of 2 1/2 drop spindles from ECE (Hated to see them close) that I used on my 70 Chevy PU. You’ll need to use 73 up upper ball joints because I have QA1 front suspension. Includes dust shields
I’d like $225 for these and I will include shipping. If you pick them up I’ll take $175

I’m interested but why the 73 up ball joints. Didn’t know they made a spindle for anything past 72.

When I installed the QA1 suspension it used 73 up spindles. Rather than buy new spindles I called QA about reeling my spindles, they said Yes it will work fine 70-72 are I believe are 7deg and 73 up are 10 deg. Any way I had a race shop ream to fit the 73 ball joint. Works or your money back. Lowere ball joints are the same.
Only reason for changing like I said was to use the CCP Modular spindles to narrow my track width for the new wheels

Re: 2 1/2 drop spindles from ECE
