1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
 

I asked last week or so but got not many answers...does anybody know 'for sure' if someone has dropped spindles for a 1972:chevy: 1 ton. dual wheels out back. a real 1 ton.. thanks

No. But there are 73-87 3" 1-ton spindles that are a bolt in swap. Bell Tech or Western Chassis.....

Excellent news. Just installed a 79 complete front suspension crossmember under my 68 C30 yesterday and got rid of the old drum brakes. I will be getting me some of them drop spindles. :metal:

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
 

well if Scoti says the 73-87 will bolt into the 72 a-arms, I guess I will buy some newer ones..thanks

You'll need to get the correct BJ's for the model year spindle (73-87 in this case) just like 1/2 tons.

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
 

I should prob add this too just in case.... The spindles will swap over, but swapping will require the 73-87 supporting hardware as well (rotors, bearings, calipers, hoses, tie-rods etc).

ok, thanks again, Scoti..

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
 

Please check back in when you get the swap done.
So many of these threads never have an end to them.
The OP gets his/her answer and then we never hear from them again.
We're all trying to learn here.

FYI.... Wanted to let you guys know Summit has them for the same price w/free shipping. Especially good deal if you order other items to save even more plus they ship for free as well (we always need something right?).

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
 

it is saying it fits C20 not C30 ??

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
 

now if I say it is for a crew cab, it fits a C30 ??

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
 

C20/C30 use the same spindle; just different hubs. I have a CC dually (C30). That's the p/n for the spindle I used.

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72

Re: 1 ton, dropped spindles for 72
