I have a 62 and would like 5 bolt wheels. On the front is it as simple as changing over to 65 drums ? What other options do I have ?

What other options do I have ? 913 20th-September-2009, 09:50 PM I believe it is a matter of changing the spindles and drums (or discs) to 5-bolt. On that note, I will have a set of stock spindles, drums and hardware from my '65 in the next couple of weeks. The shoes and stuff are brand new, I was going to overhaul the stock drums, but decided to do drop spindles and disc brakes. Rockyroad 20th-September-2009, 10:10 PM Give me a shout when you decide to do that. Thanks for the info !! fanbelt 21st-September-2009, 08:42 AM I believe you'll also need the lower control arms. The steering stops are different. Mike Rockyroad 21st-September-2009, 01:30 PM Thanks fanbelt. I would not have thought to check that out . kchandle 25th-September-2009, 07:31 PM Hey... You may need to replace the steering knuckles that attach to the spindles... I had too! !:mad: 913 25th-September-2009, 07:44 PM Worse comes to worse, I'll have the lower control arms, drums with stock spindles and possibly steering arms all available within the month or two. Waiting on some other parts to start my LS swap and install my discs, drop spindles and CPP kit. | |
