Are these conversion spindles?

I bought these thinking I could use them on my 67 disc conversion I thought I was getting a deal.But if they are not the conversion type I got ripped.I should have done more research.

Re: Are these conversion spindles?

Conversions Spindles are disc brake spindles that fit drum brake balljoints and tie rods.
Either 60-62 or 63-70.
No way to tell by looking at them.
They are stock height and NOT dropped spindles.

I thought you said you bought '72 stock spindles?

Re: Are these conversion spindles?

I have a pair of 67 dropped spindles for discs that will not be used on my project. They are Western Chassis made to match up to 67 rod ends. Drop is somewhere around 2". They are brand new never run. I went with Hotchkis arms and steering which required different joints.
I don't know how to tell by looking which joints match up to the one's you purchased. Measuring the tapers would verify.
PM me if any interest. I would take half list price.

The look like a GM stock spindle.
Could be 71-72 or 73-87.
Only way to know for sure is to see what year upper ball joint or outer tie Rod fits it.
Take it to your local auto parts store and find out.

Re: Are these conversion spindles?

Even easier...

Google search the Part numbers (I can see them in the pics).

The don't look like GM spindles to me (OEM). Is there a brand name on them anywhere?

I agree they're definitely not drop spindles.
