Location: Humboldt Kansas | My meat wagon is missing the front spindles/brakes, I have a lead on a 57 dodge lancer parts car that has all the parts still present, will these interchange? I've had lots of mopars but none of this era. I'll eventually put disc brakes on but for now I'd just like to be able to yard drive it |

Location: Hay Lakes, Alberta, Canada | What model is your car? If it is a '58 Windsor, the Dodge spindles should fit. If it is a Saratoga or New Yorker, the Dodge ones won't fit. |

Location: N.W. Fla. | Where your planning on disc brakes later & the spindles are gone I'd get some later disc spindles & be done with it. |

Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado | the 73 C-body spindles IIRC, I'm not a fan though as they change the geometry of the front end. Get a set of the proper spindles for your car and then do the Scarebird or SSBC or if you have big money the magnum force disc brake conversion.

Location: Humboldt Kansas | Thank you. That was my original plan was to get it driving with the original stuff then do a proper conversion later |

Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado | Your better off just doing discs to start since you are already missing the originals, score some spindles and rock that scarebird conversion. You won't have to mess with the wonky factory drum setup that way. Who really wants to play with 4 adjusters for the front brakes all the time? not me. |

What later spindles will work? I used '77 NYer spindles on my '60 Plym. Basically measure & see if the newer one upper & lower A arm mounts are reasonably close in distance apart.
