Tubbed 11,
I'd looked at the BELLTECH application chart about the #3120 spindles before I bought 'em.... I've bought a "FEW" parts and pieces I couldn't couldn't use in rhe last 40+ years. ... You scared me about the '73 & later tie rod ends and BJ's. The ones I bought are #3120. Did a google search on the part # and the following post came up... so I feel better.. I think. Don't want to change to '73 stuff if I don't HAVE to. Guess I'll do some measuring and see if 3" will be enough. THANKS

3120 is the part# for the 71-72 spindles, supposed to be 3" drop.

3100 is 73+...the instructions for the 3120 don't even show a 3120 on the install sheet, but they are stamped 3120.

I had a nice long conversation with a KW employee(KW owns Belltech now) about the fitment.")
