Mustang 2 spindle on stock control arms

[Super73]

Curious if anyone is running a mustang 2 spindle on stock 1963-198x control arms?

I am looking to shed some weight in the front and have looked at my truck drop spindles vs. a set of Mustang 2 spindles i have laying around and there is definitely weight savings to be had.

Since I am also doing a light weight brake, I figured it would be good to change spindles for weight at the same time.

So I am now looking for someone that has put an Mustang 2 spindle on a factory A-arm set up.

What issues did you have beside ball joints and outer tie rod ends?

Any info would be great!

look at speedway.com they use pinto spindles on dirt track stuff. might be worth looking at

That's a little bitty short spindle compared to the truck one. It'll mess up the geometry pretty bad I'd think. The 88-91 truck spindle might be a better swap or possibly 77-81 Camaro/Impala with a 12" rotor. Both would be lighter than the stocker and there are a few brake options for both. I agree check Speedway.
