Stock 71 1/2 ton spindles.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Due to a failure of one of my tubular dropped A-ARMS, I just replaced my stock spindles with dropped spindles/and stock control arms. I really don't anticipate putting the stock spindles on, so I was wondering if there would be any interest out there for mine. I would think if anyone is doing a disk brake conversion for the earlier years, these could be used. Also, what do you think would be a fair price?

What failed on your dropped arms? i've always heard storys about dropped A-arms failing but have never seen what acually happens.

Sorry for the delay, but I wanted to post some pictures instead of trying to explain what had happened. I bought the A-Arms from Suspension Techniques, I don't know if they manufactured them, or what. I bought them about 10 years ago.
