Which spindles?

[project74]

Was wondering if I could use the disc spindles from an f-body to convert my 74 Swinger to front disc's. I'm only refering to the spindles, not the rest of the setup. I seem to remember hearing this somewhere, or would I have to use a-body pieces? Thankee's.

Some pople are using the F,J, M stuff with the '73-'76 A body upper control arm, but I don't know how well it works, never cared to find out.
Personally, I'd rather use the A body pieces, so I'm sure the suspension works properly, but that's just me.

Most anyone who sells these pieces will want as much for one as the other, so why not buy what is correct for the car?

Mark.

Here's some reading for you. You can make up your own mind, but around here, F-body brakes are all over the place for cheap. Thats probably the route I'm going to go.

I put F-body spindles on my son's 67 Barracuda when I swapped to RMS tubular upper control arms. We haven't driven the car, but there was no problem aligning it and no adverse angles that I could see.

Thanks guys. Think I'll go with the abody pieces just for my own peace of mind.
