Title: Big brakes with stock spindles?
Post by: SinisterC10 on September 29, 2016, 06:52:31 pm

This 81 Shortbed I have has been lowered but the previous owner said he thinks it just has lowering springs front and back instead of front cut coil springs. He only owned the truck for a year and doesn't know how the previous owner lowered it.

With that said, is there a way to determine if the truck has stock spindles or lowering spindles on it?

I want to put a Wilwood big brake kit on the front since I already have a Wilwood disc setup for the back that I will be swapping from my Camaro.

It seems that the Wilwood big brake kits all require the use of drop spindles and Classic Performance brand at that.

If my truck doesn't already have drop spindles then is there a way to use a big brake kit with the stock ones?
