Re: Are these the correct spindles for 73-87?
I'm not sure it they're 2 1/2" or 3" drop spindles. Maybe, someone running Bell Tech drop spindles can verify the part number. From what I can tell, I don't think that they're for 73-87 trucks. They may be for the 71-72 models.
Maybe you can check with Bell Tech (1.888.712.8811) if all else fails.

Re: Are these 3" drop spindles for 73-87?
It looks like the number cast in the spindle is 31200. Looking for that number in the BellTech PDF catalog I come up with 3120 - 71-72 1/2 Ton Chevy C10 3" drop.

Re: Are these the correct spindles for 73-87?
Guys, I believe these are not the conventional Belltech drop spindles, because they look nothing like eachother, but these do look exactly like the ones GMCPauls sells.

Re: Are these the correct spindles for 73-87?
Bell tech only makes 3" drop spindles for our trucks...so if you are sure these are for a 73-87, then they are 3" units. Remember, they make two different 3" spindles, one for 1" rotors, the other for 1.25" rotors.

I don't think that I'd go by the picture. It looks as though they use that image as a picture for some of their other non-73/87 drop spindles. BTW, I believe the 71-72 trucks used only the 1 1/4" rotors. I still tend to think that they're non-73/87 drop spindles. But, I'm not sure.

I thought that Bell Tech's first offerings for drop spindles for these trucks were only 2 1/2". I've thought that for the longest time. But, it seems that make only 3" drop spindles as you mentioned. Uhmmmm......

Re: Are these the correct spindles for 73-87?
Marcus, Western Chassis makes 2.5" spindles, perhaps you were thinking of them?

Re: Are these the correct spindles for 73-87?
I have a set of the same part number that I boiught at a swap meet. Call Belltech and give them the dimensions of them. I called about mine and they said Yes that they are for 73-87 with 1.25" brakes. The part # on mine was 31200 as well.
