Re: CPP Drop Spindle Special

Mark is 100% correct... if you have the pre '71 setup, these will widen the front track width.

While I didn't use CPP spindles, they are esentially all the same no matter where you get them with the exception of the "modular drop spindles." On my 4.5/6" drop on a '69, it widened the track width .75" on each side (1.5" overall). Just want to make sure people understand what will happen with pre '71 trucks before purchasing.

Adding drop spindles to a pre '71 is not a 'stock option' thus they will not retain the same track width.
