Drop Spindles

[DCLefler]

I have a 65 swb C10 I am replacing the front crossmember with a crossmember from a 91 2wd Suburban and want to put 2.5 drop spindles. I am having a problem finding the spindles. Are they the same as the 73-87 spindles?? What is the difference? Can someone shed some light on this problem?

Same as the 73-87 trucks.
Just verify the rotor width.
They should be the HD rotors that are 1.25” wide.

Thank you that helps. It seems that everything is a direct crossover so that makes perfect sense.

I use to own a 91 suburban lowered with Belltech spindles.
It’s just easier to tell everyone you’re working on a 87 suburban.
Seems to eliminate some confusion, especially at the local
parts store.
