Still stumped.
The conversion spindles are only suppose to work with the 1.25" rotors.
I say buy some HD rotors and bearings and see if they fit your spindles.
If they don't,... You have 73-87 light duty spindles.
Good luck.

The HD rotors use an A5 inner bearing.
The light duty rotors us an A6 inner bearing.
Both versions take an A3 outer bearing.

Thanks for the insight everyone, i agree with Keith, ill go ahead and order 1.25 rotors and calipers and give it a try. Either they wont go on, or they will be too loose then i guess ill have to stay with the 1" rotors. Would be nice if there was some kind of casting or part number on the Spindles, so i would know for sure.... Good info on the bearings too, i appreciate it!

so for them calipers u have pictured above 5474176/5474177 are exactly the same calipers they gave me for my 71 c30 c&c. ive beent to napa oreilleys parts america autozone and they say they dont got the hose in system. ive asked them all if they can cross reference or something maybe from mid 70s or something. ive searched on here and got no where. tried ebay vendors and nothing. 2 front brake hoses is whats keeping me from driving truck. any help or p/n or retailor who carries would be wonderful. This site has a ton of knowledgeable people I have solved other problems on my other 2 trucks from post on here. TIA.
