64 Front Suspension Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking at putting disk brakes on the front of 64 c10. Will the 73-87 spindle bolt to 64 ball joints? What would it take to put the newer spindles and brakes on, without swapping the whole crossmember?

Looked at FAQ thread. Answered my own question. Great info here!

63-70 conversion spindles are what you need.
Direct bolt on.
NO NEED to use 71-72 or 73-87 spindles any more!

I should have mentioned also switching to 5x5 bolt pattern. Looks like all the conversion spindles come with 6 lug disks.

Just buy the spindles.
Then buy 71-87 hd (1.25" wide) 5x5 rotors, calipers and bearings at your local parts store.

These will all fit your truck.
As cheap as $228.97

There is alot of crazy info being spread about disc brake conversions.
Inform yourself before you buy.
