I'm looking at a 69 sweepy with an 87 front clip. I dig the disc brakes and PS but the 5x5.5 BC limits my choice in wheel options. Can I swap in pre 85 spindles into an 87 control arm? Is there an easier way? Ideas and thoughts?

81-84 truck rotors 5 on 4.5 wbp same wheel bearing

you can use a 76 NewYorker front rotor also with the 5 on 4.5 wbp
