If that is a bell to the lower left of lh or RH it's Belltech.

Not true.
Belltech has the word "Belltech" and the part number cast into each spindle.

You'll have to check upper balljoint or outer tie rod fit to know for sure what year spindles these are.

kind of figured.....Ball joint position is 12/6

What Keith means is that you're going to need to go to the parts store with the spindle and test fit ball joints and tie rid ends to find the ones that fit the tapered ball joint and tie rod holes. It could be 63-70, 71-72, or 73-87 fitment. All will work on your truck if you swap parts accordingly.

I know.....thanks. Thought I remembered the older spindles were laid back a little on the caliper location moving the ball joint orientation from 12/6 oclock to 11/5 which is why I included that. Don't remember if that is correct or not.

Bought my Belltechs and that bell was the only marking. They were bought years ago but the rust on those would say same time frame.

He is correct

Tx Firefighter · 03-07-2013, 04:34 PM

That means they came from the Bell foundry. They cast spindles for different companies as well as Belltech stuff. They also cast the Super Bell axles for hot rods too.

Its the same thing as Western casting spindles for CPP, Early Classic, as well as themselves.

Novalicious · 03-07-2013, 06:32 PM

73-87....Don't know the brand, but knowing they came out of Bell foundry I am more comfortable....

There are two 73-87 spindles.
Light duty 1" rotor version and the HD 1-1/4" rotor version.
