Help with 1970 C10 drop spindles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1970 C10 with a disc brake conversion on the front. I wanted to do 2-1/2 drop spindles. Do you know of anyone that makes them? Here are pics of my set up.

This is the disc brake conversion I believe is on the truck.

Buy CCP parts thru Summit for the fast free shipping , Moog ball joints / tie rods / etc from Rock auto . when installing the upper ball joints the nuts go on top to avoid grease cup damage .

Keep in mind CPP makes 2 types of spindles. They make they style grumpy pictures and their 'modular' type which are adaptable to many different caliper types with changeable brackets. You could get the brackets to fit the stock calipers it appears your kit uses and if you ever wanted to upgrade further, you could get different brackets.
