Help with spindle measurements please

Hello I have a 59 apache sitting on a 85 chevy short wide frame. I have installed flip kit and drop shackles on the rear. I ordered2 1/2 inch drop spindles for the front and they won't fit. The old spindles measurement on the bolt holes for the caliper is 7 inches center to center and the drop spindles measure 5 1/2 inches, also the brake rotor even is to big to fit mine is the 1 inch thick rotor. I know there is 1 1/4 rotor but I orderd the right one. Anyone know what I need to order bought these off of EBay and haven't heard back yet imagine that live and learn huh any help on what I need thanks.

They sent you the wrong spindles plain and simple. I cant measure mine now but here is some comparison pics of a stock and a McGaughys 2.5in drop spindle for a 1in rotor.

I dont know what they sent you but if the dust shield, rotor, and caliper doesnt fit its not for a c10. Return the spindles and get new ones from a reputable source like summit, western chassis, bell tech to name a few.
