Have not on a truck but just installed on 66 nova and would use it again. The directions are good and the parts they suggest fit right. Only deviation I made was rotors- they suggested using wagoners and milling hub, used bendix and were straight bolt on. Bendix from summit also cheaper by 30 dollars

I looked into them before I bought drop spindles.
the only reason I can see to use them on our trucks is if you absolutely have to have off the shelf rotors and do not want drop spindles.
you will spend the same on drop or standard height spindles and cpp 6 lug rotors as you will on the scarebird brackets and the oem 6 lug rotors
