Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5

Rob and Benji,... the only thing I'm not sure about is the calipers.

I need to stop by the local auto parts store and check that out tomorrow,... but I'm sure they are a different part number.
If I had DSL,... I'd look online,... but it's not worth the effort. (And the slow internet, driving me crazy)
My frame is a 1983,... so that's the application I will use.
(Hint, hint dsl guys)

Last night I ordered a set of 73-87 Belltech 3" drop spindles (part #3200 for the LD version), for my '86 Dropmember project.

Anyone else running 63-70 conversion spindles will have to swap to the 73-87 version and change balljoints.

I think the upper and lower balljoints of the 71-72 trucks will work with the 73-87 spindles,... but I'm not 100% sure.
(another cross reference item for you dsl guys)

I'm pretty sure there is no 1" spindle for the pre '73 trucks,... so a balljoint/tie rod switch will be in order.
(with maybe the exception being the 71-72 trucks)
