Front Spindle guru's needed!

B&E body disk spindles are not all the same.

'70-'72 B/E body spindles were set up for the single piston disks, but they used a smaller inner wheel bearing than the later stuff.

'73+ B/E body spindles used the same larger inner wheel bearings as all the other 73+ spindles.

The shorter spindle is likely for a '70-72 B/E body.

The taller one is likely for a '73+ B body or an F/M/J body car (diplomat, 5th ave, etc)

This is correct info that I can see posted above.

The only thing to add is the bearing size on the 70 T/A and AAR's E-body are also large bearing. I also had one Cuda 6 bbl 4 spd. car with large bearing. I am not sure about Hemi . I Never got to strip one where it was complete and I didn't care to know back then I thought they were all the same. Easy way to tell bearing size without disassembly is the large bearing have a larger squared off hub end. The older up to 72 have a better pin type caliper in my opinion. But the parts are double the cost. Hub ends are tapered. 73 -76 a-body are the better choice to use and easy to find the parts for. Caliper brackets and mounting bolts are the only thing you need to find the rest is available cheap at Auto zone. Spindle are also available new 2 inch drop and standard.
