3/4 ton to half ton spindles?

Does any body make a drop spindle for a 3/4 ton that will use a 1/2 ton rotor and caliper.
Or get a 1/2 ton spindle and get it reamed to 3/4 t ball joints. Or what options is there.

www.earlyclassic.com sells the "conversion spindles".
Give them a call.

As far as I know,... they are the only company that makes these.

Yep.
They make a set for that says "71-87"?
Kinda weird, because the 71-72 trucks use a different upper ball joint and outer tie rod end than the 73-87 trucks.

I would call to confirm with Stan this.
My guess would be that these work with the 73-87 parts.
