Re: drop spindles

I have the same question, I'm looking for some drop spindles for my 70 C20. From what I have read, the 1/2 ton ones wont work because of the ball joint size? I'm not sure if anybody makes drop spindles for a 3/4 Ton??

Re: drop spindles

I was just looking at those, but it says they are conversion spindles? I dont want to convert to C10 stuff and want to keep my 8 lug.

It also says you can use your C20 tie rods and ball joints? So I assume that you can use them as C20 drop spindles and not convert to C10 stuff?

My other question would be, what disk brakes do you use? The ones from a 72+ C20?

Thanks and sorry to thread jack Jmal69
