Some suspension and brake questions
Most all the drums on the large spindles 74 and newer I saw were finned and Large 4 1/2 bolt pattern. That is just what I saw and I saw many. I threw every one in the scrap metal bin back then. They were as useless then as they are today. I would only keep disc set ups. I would also save the 9' setups for drag cars. They were used due to weight and less resistance.
Today 9' spindles are sought after for using Wilwood race brakes. I went with Strange race brakes because they use LBP disc spindles and I wanted to use 2" lowering spindles. Because we moved the rails up in the rear. I have all the different spindles so I pretty much know what fits what. What I don't have is all the different year manuals . Most but not all . I do have the interchange books from the salvage yard yet.
