Title: C10 spindle?
Post by: Blazin on February 16, 2012, 01:59:54 pm
Does anyone know if new spindle / knuckle assembly is available for C10 truck. My buddies truck needs one, his son kept driving it after the wheel bearing had issues. Now the spindle is junk. A used one will work, but he would just assume buy a brand new one providing the price isn't and arm, and a leg.

The GM numbers I have show the same spindles were used from 73 on up through 87 on pickups.  They also seem to be applicable to the G-series vans.  But I think it may be a discontinued item from GM.

LH 6274259
RH 6274260

You might ask Capt. Kaos about them as well. I'd also check GM and double check the part numbers, it could be they were superseded and I don't have the most recent number.

Otherwise, you can get pairs of stock height (or lowering spindles) from Summit (stock height link):

You are looking for a spindle for a 2wd pickup?  Aren't they different depending on if you have 1" or 1 1/4" thick brake rotors?   I have the pair from my 86 with the 1" thick brake rotors.  You could have them if you were close, but shipping  would cost a fortune.  Im in northeast Nebraska.

I will pass that info on to him, thanks. I mentioned I knew you could by new lowering spindles, but this truck isn't worth lowering. Its just a good solid old truck 4.3 with an SM465.

If only it would have come up about 6 weeks ago, hard to see in the picture but the complete front frame section from a C10 went to the crusher, I would have been glad to send it your way...
