Spindles same?
Anyone have a clue whether a set of '74 G-10 Van spindles are same as a set of light duty C-10 spindles in 78 or so ??
How could I find out? |

I have Hollander's Interchange CD rom installed on my computer at work. I am off on Monday but I will check first thing Tuesday morning if no one has answered your question by then. In the meantime you could call a junkyard and see if they might tell you.

So I saved the '74 spindles for no apparent reason, hmmm
Would '72 spindles be same as light duty '73-'80 spindles, by chance??? Thanks for helping.. basically what Im trying to do is, I want to use the 78 Big10 spindles for the 68 project truck, then swap on a set of light duty spindles to keep the 78 driveable till a better cab (and front clip) for it comes along.... But I have the '74 van spindles mixed up in the pile of truck spindles, so....... have at least 6 sets laying here.... '71-'80 |

Fast, don't throw them away yet. Paul is technically correct but Hollanders does say you can use them. You need to use the outer tie rod ends for the 74 G-10 van. If you do this it is the equivalent (for interchange purposes) of having a G-20 spindle set-up. Therefore your 74 G-10 spindle when you use the G-10 outer tie rod end will fit the following:
BLAZER/JIMMY (full size) 73-82 4x2 CHEVROLET FORWARD CONTROL 73-80 10 Series CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 73-80 10 Series; 4x2 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 81-87 10 Series; 4x2, 1-1/4" thick rotor CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK 88 10 Series; 4x2 CHEVROLET VAN 73-82 20 Series CHEVROLET VAN 75-92 10 Series CHEVROLET VAN 83-92 20 Series; vacuum assist brakes GMC FORWARD CONTROL 73-80 1500 Series GMC PICKUP TRUCK 73-80 1500 Series; 4x2 GMC PICKUP TRUCK 81-87 1500 Series; 4x2, 1-1/4" thick rotor GMC VAN 73-82 2500 Series GMC VAN 75-92 1500 Series GMC VAN 83-92 2500 Series; vacuum assist brakes SUBURBAN 73-80 10 Series; 4x2 SUBURBAN 73-80 1500 Series; 4x2 SUBURBAN 81-87 10 Series; 4x2, 1-1/4" thick rotor SUBURBAN 81-87 1500 Series; 4x2, 1-1/4" thick rotor SUBURBAN 88 10 Series; 4x2 SUBURBAN 88-91 1500 Series; 4x2 Hope this helps.

Ok, I just found those van spindles, they were buried, thy have car bolt pattern wheel studs, and are 7/16" instead of 1/2" like on trucks...
So, I can definitely use them, correct? Can I swap a truck rotor on them, bearings same? Thanks again !
