belltech spindles

[stefan]

has anyone ran belltech 3 inch spindles on a 67-72 chevy truck i heard they have a 3inch drop spindle for a 73-87 chevy truck that can be used on a 67-72,just wondering if anyone ran them and what mods were required.

stefan,... What year truck are working on? The spindle will work if you use '73-up balljoints and '73-up outer tie rod ends. The problem you might have is,... connecting the outer tie rod to the stock inner. If you have a '71-'72 truck the '73-up outer will bolt right on. If you have a '67-'70 you will need and adapter sleeve to connect to the '73-up outer tie rod. (Can't remember the company that makes them. Maybe ECE) Confused yet. I did this swap along time ago on a '69 burb I had. If you have to BUY spindles,... it's easier to just go with the ECE (early classic enterprises) spindles for the correct year.

Sound like you got it figured out. '71-'72 trucks are the easiest to use the '73-up spindles on. Brakes shouldn't be a problem. I don't know what size rims you are running up front,... But I would suggest trimming the lower a-arms and trimming the bumpstop brackets. Then you should be fine to run any size wheel.
