Has anybody used the B body or F body spindles on a 68 back C body? The upper ball joint is the same as a 68 b body, but I am not sure if the spindle will fit on the lower. I have some FJM big disc spindles complete that I would love to use up! Thanks!

B or F body stuff doesn't work on a C body.
Everything is way to "small" for a C body application.
For the C body cars, you really need to find 69-73 C body disc brake parts.
The 73 parts are the most desirable, for a swap.

So is it the lower ball joint thats different or the beef of the spindle? Just curious, I havent looked at enough c body stuff to know.

C body lower ball joint has a longer distance between mounting holes I do believe.....

That being said, a B body lower is not IMPOSSIBLE to mount on a 1969 C body. Ask me how I know....
