Drop Spindle differences

I have a friend who parted out his 94 ( I think) gm truck and he had 2" drop spindles on it, he said I could have them but I want to make sure they will work, I have 71/72 front suspension on my truck now. what is the difference?

Re: Drop Spindle differences

The 88-98 1/2 ton spindles won't work on the 71/72 suspension (71-87 for that matter) w/o swapping to 63-87 C20 lower arms, 88-98 C10 upper BJ's, & 88-98 brake parts (caliper, rotor, bearings).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Outer tie rods are different also.
