What spindles will fit on a 67 C10?
 

I want to put front disc brakes on my truck.
The truck currently has been lowered with springs.
I was thinking of buying 2' dropped spindles and then buying a front disc brake set up. Until I saw the costs.

I am wondering if I can buy say a 1971 2' dropped spindle and then go to a junk yard and buy a disc brake set up for a 71.

Does this make sense, or am I am way off track here.

Thank you.

you can use stock spindles from a 71-87... with the ball joints for that year truck
and yes you could get disk brake drop spindles than the disk brake stuff for a 72

.........but the alignment guy wont be happy.

Lol, good point, I found out the hard way when I installed '72 spindles onto the 68, lets just say it didnt work out.
Using a '78 front end now.
No more uncorrectable positive camber.
Good luck.

Impalla, where can i get a classic industries catalog? Do they have an online site? I would like to look into those spindles, they sound like they might be just what I am looking for.

Thanks impalla. I checked out their site, they have the dropped spindles for the 71-87 discs.

OUR PART#SP1002 2 1/2"DROP SPINDLES ARE A DIRECT BOLT IN ON A 67 (no ball joint or tie-rod change)AND USE 71-87 OVER THE COUNTER DISC BRAKE PARTS.THEY ARE WESTERN BRAND DROP FORGED AND CARRY A LIFETIME WARRANTY!

Why wouldn't the allignment shop be happy? If you go to a "good" shop, it shouldn't be a problem. I went to a very reputable shop here in town that's been around and family owned for over 50yrs and just told him what I had done to the truck. He had it completed in less than 30 minutes with no complaining. He said it was very easy to do.
