Re: American in Austria 83 Build
Was just going thru this thread and saw where you used CPP spindles. Let us know how they work out. I used a few of their products in a 55 Chevy but typically they were ill-fitting and used cheesy hardware. Here's an example of problems folks have had with their Chinese parts.

Hate to think the spindles are attached to their steering knuckles that poorly!
I just bought a pair of Western Chassis spindles for my 82 C10, so we'll see how they work out.
Why do we refer to steering knuckles as spindles, anyway? I guess it like saying "rims" instead of "wheels".
