[QUOTE=Rusbuilt;5891543]I'll be running 73-87 1ton 3" drop spindles and rotors. All I have to do is install the 1 ton ball joints in the PB arms.

Aren't the lug studs in a big spacer that bolts to the hub? Like 3" deep and 7 or 8" around, or is my memory fuzzy? If so, I guess you just get a stock one for a 73-87 1 ton, huh? Or IS that the hub?

And that T56-in-a-C30 idea is intriguing! Damn, if it can handle the torque of a Viper V10, it ought to be able to handle a HD truck pulling the occasional trailer! They have a funky output shaft though.
