73+ C10 drop spindles
 
I am looking at these as I think they help pull the wheels in a bit. Plus offer easy brake upgrades if I ever feel I need them.

I liked the Willwoods, but I am concerned of the aluminum construction. As I plan to abuse the truck, and use C20 lower ball joints. Plus brake kits are expensive. Plus the CPP version uses cheap factory replacement items as this is my daily.

If I could use a K10 rotor, and factory D52 caliper it would be a better choice for me.

Those spindles plus the correct caliper bracket allows you to start w/the OE size 12" rotor/D52 combo & upgrade to current big-brakes w/multi-piston calipers in the future if desired (and you have the coin for the modern diameter wheels/tires required for them).

Do they pull in the wheels? They seem to elude to that fact, or is it not that big a deal?

The CPP 'Modular' spindle's are supposed to not increase track width like typical drop spindles. I didn't measure mine to definitively prove or disprove if they did when I swapped them under my 64's chassis. Maybe I'll pull one off for a tape measure comparison.

I hope they don't increase track width. My 17x9's just fit with a 1/4 to spare.
