Application

  1. Chevy 1949-54 spindles are specifically designed for use on tube axles. A shorter, thicker axle stub makes this a slightly stronger spindle ideal for use with heavier street rods.
  2. Ford 1928-48 spindles are generally your best choice when using an original Ford axle or an aftermarket I-beam axle.

Steering tie rod is too short. Not enough threads on the spindle for rotor nut

These will work great for our 1933 Chevy Hot Rod

I have a 1937 Chevy Master coupe that I want to install front disc brakes on. Will this kit work "as is" with no other modifications? Also, the car currently has bias ply tires that I want to replace with radials. Thx

Do you offer a Chevy Front Axle Steering & Brake Kit that uses Mustang II Rotors & Calipers? Do you offer a kit similar to this one that uses the Mustang II 9 1/4" Rotors and Mustang II Calipers so that all of the parts required to mount these items on the Chevy Spindles can be purchased in one kit?
