Drop Spindle Questions/Help.

If I bought drop spindles for my 69 GMC will they bolt to my factory control arms and will I be able to put 71/72 rotors and calipers on it. I wonder because it would be cheaper for me to go that route.

Re: Drop Spindle Questions/Help.

Nevermind. I did a little more research and found that GMC Pauls has a 2 1/2 in drop spindle kit for 63-70 that uses all factory hardware and includes everything from bearings to calipers and comes with a rear drop spring in 3, 4, or 5 inch with track bar. Total price it $680 plus shipping.

Re: Drop Spindle Questions/Help.

Most all suspension companies now sell the 63-70 drop spindles that you need.
(also 60-62, 71-72 and 73-87 spindles)
The 63-70 version will be a direct bolt on for converting your old front drum brakes to disc.
