6-lug Conversion Rotors Question? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FirstGen · 10-31-2005, 11:21 AM

I used the 88-98 ball joints on the stock 1/2 ton 67-72 upper control arm and then had to use a 3/4 TON 67-72 lower a-arms to make up for the difference in the spindle. Then I used a different outer tie rod which I will have to look up the number for...

FirstGen, Can you post all the info here so the rest of us can benefit from this conversion. Did you stock or drop spindles? That sounds like it might be a lower cost conversion than going with a new conversion kit.

Sure can. I have already posted this entire conversion about 3 times. At one time it was saved in the FAQ pages but I don't know if they are there anymore.

anyway, I have drop spindles and bags now but origionally I used stock height spindles.

I have a pair of spindles off of my sons' '96 GMC Sportside, left over after installing dropped spindles. If anyone wants them, just pay the shipping. The truck had less than 60K miles when these came off of it....in summer of '02.

There would be a packaging charge, too. But, no charge for the spindles to anyone who wants them.
