2000+ ball joint and spindles on 66?
I know this has to be somewhere on the site but ever search yields no results, I must not be using the right keywords. I have a 2000 Silverado as a donor for my 5.3 4l60e swap. I got to looking at the front spindles and was wonder how much fabrication would be need to swap them. I haven't measured anything yet so if this idea. If this is way to out there just stop me here, but it would be nice to have disc all around from the donor and the rear axle doesn't look like it will be to bad to swap.

Re: 2000+ ball joint and spindles on 66?
Technically, I'm sure you could probably just ream the spindle to the right size. Having said that, your suspension geometry would probably be way off and the truck would handle like crap, so unless you understand how suspension geometry works and know how to design a suspension system from scratch, its not a good idea. Rear axle wouldn't be difficult to do if you fab new brackets, but the newer axle is also probably wider than the factory axle so that need to be taken into consideration.
