- Designed to work with 1971-1987 1-1/4” rotors, calipers, and bearings, making it easier to source parts for the upgrade.
-
Maintains Original Offset:
- These spindles retain the original offset, which can be crucial for maintaining proper alignment and handling characteristics.

Installation Notes:
- These spindles are designed to replace the original spindles on 1963-1970 Chevrolet C10 trucks.
- They require the use of 1-1/4” rotors, calipers, and bearings from a 1971-1987 truck, which means you'll need to source these parts if you don't already have them.
Benefits of Upgrading to Disc Brakes:
- Improved Stopping Power: Disc brakes generally offer better braking performance compared to drum brakes, especially in wet conditions.
- Reduced Fade: Disc brakes are less prone to fade during heavy use, providing more consistent braking performance.
- Easier Maintenance: Disc brakes are typically easier to inspect and maintain compared to drum brakes.
By upgrading with Slamrite's drop spindles, you not only improve your C10's braking capabilities but also achieve a more aggressive and lowered stance, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.
