Here is a true statement about spindles:
EVERYTHING has to match the YEAR of spindle you are using.
That means:
Balljoints and outer tie rods.


If your truck is a 63-70 I HIGHLY suggest using 63-70 conversion spindles.
They can be purchased for $229 almost everywhere.
No need to change any steering parts or balljoints.
My truck is a 1971 C10 and it does have the 1.25" rotors. Could the spindle be for a 73-87 truck? Are the tie rod ends bigger on the 73-87's?
