Need to figure out what happened with this member's installation.

You might want to look at this thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=620262

This combo of 88-98 spindles resulted in too much positive camber that requires either moving out the mounting point of the lower a-arms,...
or narrowering the upper a-arms.
I don't think this member (or myself) finds much money savings in doing this swap.

ok, I said i would report back when i knew if my fix worked, and it did.
However, I'm just simply going to say that if your considering using 88-98 spindles to do a disc brake swap, don't.
I safely made mine work only because I am so deeply invested in it with new a arms, ball joints, rotors, calipers, tie rod ends, and a ton of time that I felt compelled to make it work.
