C10 spindles

There used to be a company called ece who had C20 to C10 conversion spindles. They are gone now.

What about reaming out C10 spindles for C20 ball joints. Will that leave enough material for strength.

I have a C20 crossmember I want to put under my C10, but I need 6 lug brakes. Which I can do using C10 HD spindles. Also I want the bigger lower ball joint, and tie rod ends.

Re: C10 spindles

Why do you need the C20 lower BJ's & TRE's?

Plan on abusing the truck, and want HD items when possible.

My bet is this is how ECE did their C20 to C10 adapted spindles. But, I don't have the BJ dimensions for each to know how much the hole would need to be opened.

I do think there will be enough "material" @ the lower BJ pad once opened up for the 3/4 ton BJ. I don't think strength would be compromised beyond what a typical 1/2 ton spindle can take. But, I personally would want to measure each size BJ from the same manufacturer for my piece of mind.
