I've been researching this a little. It looks like the aftermarket C5 upgrade brackets might work on the light duty spindles. That is, if the dust shield/backing plates interchange between big car/light truck, then a bracket may already exist to adapt the 'Vette stuff.

More to come when I get some time...
Keep us posted on this.
