Re: Best way to adapt 73/87 spindles to a 68?
I used the parts below on my 69 C10 with 1986 spindles. Center link was from a 71-72 C20, but I think a 73-87 C10 center link is the same part. (73-87 C10s were much beefier than earlier years.)
Be aware that there were two different model spindles for 73-87 C10s (at least starting in the mid-80s). One was for 1" thick rotors, the other was for 1.250". The inner wheel bearings and calipers are also different. Pads are the same.
