Re: how to tell if your spindles ahould have 1.00 or 1.25 rotors

The 1" spindle bearing are a lot smaller, the diameter of the rear bearing surface on the 1.25" is 1.375'' the 1" is 1.245" according to the spindles I have laying around... My truck had one 1" shindle and rotor and one 1.25" spindle and rotor and it had 1" calipers so needless to say I had fun figuring everything out on my truck...

The 1.25 inner bearing is an A5, the 1" rotor bearing is an A6 buy one or the other and see which fits or doesn't. Or measure the spindle with 6" calipers or micrometer.

Another tip off is the 1.25" equipped trucks used 2 3/4" rear shoes while the light duty used 2" shoes.

I've had multiple trucks apart in my driveway that were equipped w/1.25" front brakes (my old 74, Jonboys 79, & a co-workers 82). They didn't have the wider HD rear brakes.

From info I searched, it seemed those brakes were typically on burbs or ordered as an option.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks, I don't have the original rear end nor drums but I just bought the smaller bearings and figured if it fits it drives
