http://www.performanceonline.com/71-...e-2-half-inch/ Keep in mind, to use drop spindles (whether 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton) you MUST convert to disc brakes. If you are trying to keep your drum brakes, there are no drop spindles made. The only way to drop a drum brake truck is with springs and/or dropped A arms. If you replace your lower arms, make sure you get 3/4 ton arms as the ball joint is bigger then 1/2 ton ones. If you want to convert over to 5 or 6 lug disc brakes with dropped spindles, you need to buy 1/2 ton lower arms OR use Early Classic Enterprise 3/4 to 1/2 ton conversion spindles.

Second, make sure any arms you get are from a 3/4 ton truck. 1/2 ton arms have smaller ball joint mounts and your 3/4 ton ball joints will not fit. Just want to make sure you are getting the right thing. ![]()

I also figured yours were 1/2 ton as not too many people have 3/4 ton arms laying around, since they don't get modified very often.
