WTB Front Drum Spindles
Looking for a pair of front drum spindles/steering knuckles for a '68 C10. I'd like to be sure the bottom surface of the spindles (where the inside bearing races sit) have no wear. On my current ones I can feel a step down where the races wore the spindle.
Also I'll take a pair of steering arms and a pair of brake anchor pins if you got'em.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
I will have a pair from my ‘70 soon as I am updating to disc brakes. Shipping is expensive on heavy items though.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
Thanks for posting those good pics, zicc, I really appreciate it. Am I seeing a fair amount of wear under the inner race?
Maybe my spindles aren’t as bad as I thought? I’d like to start fresh with new metal but I can’t seem to find any new or unworn drum spindles. Sorry to be so picky but I don’t think those would get me where I want to be. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
Sure, I'm still looking for some with as little wear as I can find. Shoot me some pictures of them, especially the bottom of the spindles where they rest in the inner races.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
Mine have some wear also, I measured the bearing mating surface with a digital caliper and it measured 1.382". Realistically, I don't think you will find any without wear unless you can find NOS.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
The bearing ID is 1.375" so my spindles have about .007" wear. The bearing still fit good on the spindle with no measurable side play.

I don't know where you are in Iowa but I have a couple of complete front x-members. I have never checked out any of the parts on them. I would also have to check and see if they are 1/2 or 3/4. LockDoc

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
Thanks for the responses!
70STOVEBOLT, thanks for checking. As best I can tell, 1.375" is what an unworn spindle measures. Inside of the inner race will naturally measure a hair more. Can you confirm that is the measurement vertically across the spindle (since the wear would happen on the bottom)? If so, send me some pics and a price? 57Suburb, I'm definitely interested in some low-mile spindles that I can pick up myself. Pics & price? LockDoc and tjc, until I find a good pair of spindles I'll still be in the market. Let me know if you find you have some good ones.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
57Suburb, that’s too good an offer to pass up. See you later this week.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
Please post if this works out for you. If not, I will check measurements on mine again and post pics.
