So, wanted to keep out of the drama side of this, I will share info I have about these spindles. I am going to try to get some actual measurements of these and the stock '65 drums I pulled off.

A happy side note for those wanting to run 15x8" rally or stock style wheels and typically have clearance issues with the lower A arm lip, around the lower ball joint,
these give you enough clearance to not rub or require you to trim the A arm (which I don't like).
Here is a pic to show the clearance and I did cycle the steering from lock to lock and no issues anywhere.

I hate to say it,... but it looks like that a-arm has already been trimmed.
Normally the "nose" of the lower a-arm is thicker than that.
