Re: spindles

Every pair of Western spindles I have installed has the word "Western" cast prominently into them on the steering arm.

Re: spindles

The C-10 have two different rotors. Early ('82 or so) were 1.25" thickness and later models were 1.00" thickness. I don't know if the was a bearing size change or not. Look up bearings for the early and later models. You may need to find some 1.00" rotors and bearings. Other postings say the cliper will work with either but I couldn't be sure.

Re: spindles

I posted a reply in your other thread.
All 6-lug aftermarket rotors are the 1-1/4" wide versions.
I bet your drop spindles are the Light Duty version.
