Using a modified GM truck spindle w/a machined truck hub + an adapter bracket can be a good thing as you can maintain or replace your bearings as needed for much less.
I have their Modular spindles on my ‘74 with the plans to make hubs out of rotors to do Brembos. I didn’t have issues with them when I installed them but definitely something for other people to look out for.

My plan is to run first gen SRT8 Cherokee rotors and Chevy style Brembos. I already have everything, just waiting for time.
