Re: Best way to adapt 73/87 spindles to a 68?

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.
Mike,
Center links changed from 83-87. The Idler is not a K6096T. Idler is K6247T from 83-87. 82 and down uses the K6096T.
