WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

Looking for a pair of front drum spindles/steering knuckles for a '68 C10. I'd like to be sure the bottom surface of the spindles (where the inside bearing races sit) have no wear. On my current ones I can feel a step down where the races wore the spindle.

Also I'll take a pair of steering arms and a pair of brake anchor pins if you got'em.

I have a set, send me your number and I can text you some pics tomorrow

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

i too have a set or 2 if needed

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

I will have a pair from my ‘70 soon as I am updating to disc brakes. Shipping is expensive on heavy items though.

Thanks, I’m talking with TBohne and will let you know if what he has does not work for me.

Thanks for posting those good pics, zicc, I really appreciate it. Am I seeing a fair amount of wear under the inner race?

Maybe my spindles aren’t as bad as I thought? I’d like to start fresh with new metal but I can’t seem to find any new or unworn drum spindles. Sorry to be so picky but I don’t think those would get me where I want to be.

no problem at all.... I get it.... keep looking good luck with you search

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

Did you find some spindles? I have mine off now. I can get pics if you are still looking

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

Sure, I'm still looking for some with as little wear as I can find. Shoot me some pictures of them, especially the bottom of the spindles where they rest in the inner races.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

I will try to get some pics tomorrow after work

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

Mine have some wear also, I measured the bearing mating surface with a digital caliper and it measured 1.382". Realistically, I don't think you will find any without wear unless you can find NOS.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

The bearing ID is 1.375" so my spindles have about .007" wear. The bearing still fit good on the spindle with no measurable side play.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

To bad u r not closer. I recently went with drop spindles and disc brakes on my 68 so i have it all. Spindles, brakes, drums, heck even wheels. Can't even give em away ! Somebody come get these parts- free.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

I live in Burlington, IA. I can check mine this weekend.

I don't know where you are in Iowa but I have a couple of complete front x-members. I have never checked out any of the parts on them. I would also have to check and see if they are 1/2 or 3/4.

I have a set I just took of my 67. Truck has 86k actual miles, and I'm in Iowa. :metal:

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

If the truck is that low a mileage truck that might be the ticket.....

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

Thanks for the responses!

70STOVEBOLT, thanks for checking. As best I can tell, 1.375" is what an unworn spindle measures. Inside of the inner race will naturally measure a hair more. Can you confirm that is the measurement vertically across the spindle (since the wear would happen on the bottom)? If so, send me some pics and a price?

57Suburb, I'm definitely interested in some low-mile spindles that I can pick up myself. Pics & price?

LockDoc and tjc, until I find a good pair of spindles I'll still be in the market. Let me know if you find you have some good ones.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

I will check on Monday and get back to you.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

They’re free if you come and get them.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

57Suburb, that’s too good an offer to pass up. See you later this week.

Re: WTB Front Drum Spindles
 

Please post if this works out for you. If not, I will check measurements on mine again and post pics.
