Don't Buy CPP Drop Spindles !!!

Here is a link to my rant about them

Linky

Well I reluctantly used the CPP drop spindles & put my front back together today

Then when I went to put my brake lines on they wouldn't fit the calipers I am using, so I went to Oreilleys & bought some new ones for the year calipers
I get them & they dont fit, the banjo fitting is TOO thick

It's getting there. Hopefully things will go smoother that the spindle/brakes ordeal.

Looking good! :metal:

Looks Great Man !!! Now Get -R-Done !!!!;) Bob

I'll have a big surprise for ya'll come tomorrow night :D

good job man dont get frustrated

Lets see the surprise....

it's coming together, gonna be sweet. I never ordered suspension stuff from CPP but did order my big brake kit from them. It was Baer's parts and it took forever to get there. I did a roadie to Anaheim to save big bucks on shipping so I got to see their place. It was nice, organized and all. When I got around to putting the brakes on tho guess what....I had two of the same side...lol fortunately for me I only live about 25 miles or so from Baer so they hooked me up with the correct parts. I guess in everything a little rain must fall...keep on keepin on, your truck will be awesome.

what spindles would you recomend? we are going to be putting a set on a 64 this winter:chevy:

Thanks guys

northern 85, I am going to do some more reading & see which ones people like the best / have the least amount of problems with

Where's my surprise???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:lol::lol: Bob

I still have a lil extra bracing to do, build a panhard bar & raise my bed floor

Cool :metal: Nice work !! Keep It Up !! Bob

Well I started on my bed today, but forgot the camera & really didnt get much done on it anyway :lol:

More progress soon

Just a thought, but id go back on the inside and outside of your Z now and put a piece of 3/16" plate on it, and give it a 100% weldout, this will make it super strong, If that weld fails, man it will be a bad day for you.

The truck is looking good though, even though you have a had some minor issues, there always are some when doing a build, just have to keep your head down and work through em. I think it is going to be nice when done.
