Spindles and caliper adapters.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Most any A-B-E body car stuff can be adapted. Easiest to find and work with is the late model A body stuff. Just call up DoctorDiff and get a complete setup. Just finished doing that on my 64. Everything included and new. Pretty simple way to do it for a very fair price IMO.
'64 Sport Fury, 528 Hemi, FiTech EFI, 4-speed, 4.10 Dana 60 '57 Belvedere 2dr sedan, current project in process '19 Cherokee Trail Hawk Elite '03 Ram 2500 CTD HO, 6-speed 214,000 miles and still going strong

Spindles and caliper adapters. Spindles are available new (but might not be factory quality). Doctor Diff has repo caliper adapters. So these days everything is reproduced to do the A body knuckle with 10.78 or 11.75 rotors. The taller (and lighter) FMJ knuckle isn't reproduced so if you want to go the tall knuckle route you have to find originals.

I had the A body spindles on my 65.Changed them to the taller b body ones I had.Been on for at least 15 years.I run C body disc/drum masters on conversions.Even leavin drums all around we still run the 70 c body masters just drum/ drum.Did my kids 62 300 like that and it went 14 years till he sold the car.The taller spindles I think make alignment better.Rocky
