Are these stock height spindles? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm going to go ahead and order a power disc brake kit for my '68. My truck was lowered with springs and shocks but I'm not sure if my spindles are stock or lowered. I believe they are stock. Can someone please help me confirm what I have?

I would guess Yes since you have drum brakes.

There are no drum brake drop spindles is what he means.

Ahhh.... Duh. I wasn't sure because I'm putting disc brakes on these stock spindles.

You will need new spindles for Disc brakes. I think there is some oddball kit that works with the drum but just get the correct Disc spindle. Stock or Lowered depending on what you are going for. Also it looks like you are riding on the bumps stops right now so you definitely need a taller set of springs.

You can't get lowered drum spindles but you can get 6 bolt discs that work with the drum spindles now. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ssb-a126-71. I used this kit. Went together nicely.
