Spindles?

[68wannabe]

Just wondering if '71 and '72 disc brake spindles will work on a 1968 c10

[casper71]

You will need to switch the ball joints to larger size.

Alright, awesome. I was planning on replacing those anyways.

You will also need the correct outer tie rod ends and adapter sleeves to use them with your 68 inners.

I think i found a company that makes spindles for 1963-- 1970 that take the 3/4 ton ball joint and uses all of the stock Tie rod ends and Pittman arm and all the linkage for 258.12
Please call them on shipping.

These are stock spindles Not lowing spindles But they do make lowering spindles

All of you new guys that have 3/4 ton trucks your worries are over Now a 5 lug wheels are in sight.

Now all you have to do is find a 1/2 ton Rear end change the rear springs and the front springs and you will have a 1/2 ton truck better gas mileage and you can put them Alum 5 lug rims on your ride.

The guys using the rear coil Springs you will need to find a Coil spring 1/2 rear end But this is for the guys that have the Leaf spring Rear ends
