How can I find out what year spindles I have? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

funkytechmonkey · 03-27-2011, 11:41 AM

I picked up these spindles from a buddy and wanted to find out what year C10 they came off of. Is it possible to tell just by looking at them?

I know they are stock heigth.... but the year is what I am trying to figure out. I was told they are from 67-72. Im getting all mt front suspension from poterbuilt and I need to know wha year for part.

What are the casting numbers?

*Shane* · 03-28-2011, 03:33 PM

could you make the picture a little darker?

seriously, post a pic with some light on the spindles along with a close-up of the casting #'s ... someone here will know the answer.

Sorry.... There are 2 numbers.... one on the outside is 482RH1N the one on the inside looks like 3888482.

I just checked my 80 and 84 spindles and it's not a numbers match

funkytechmonkey · 03-28-2011, 07:57 PM

Thanks for checking that... I'm hoping they are 69-70. That's what I was told.

they wont be 69-70 because they are for disc brakes, they might be 71-72

What is the bore diameter of the hole where the tie-rod goes on the top of the steering arm. If it's right at 5/8" it's a 71-72... if it's closer to 3/4" it's a 73-87.
