watching for a donor car-----but in the mean time i wonder if anyone has used 74-77 dodge van spindles rotors calipers with a front steer rack and pinion?

What spindles are you looking for? I have a couple sets of the '73 C body knuckles that people use for disc conversions.

at this point not interested in piecing together the package---bob

I have never heard of anyone using van spindles.

I know the rotors are the same, but why do you think the spindles will work?

Sounds like he wants to do a rack and pinion conversion.

i have looked at an illustration on line and the spindles look similar----the bearings and races are the same----ditto ball joints ----also correcto mundo on rack conversion----you get a bigger oil pan----maybe more room for full length headers on a 5.7 hemi conversion and the possibilty of coilover front.....

were those vans front steer ? i can't remember.

i am going to do a pick a part run to verify------online diagram iffy...

Going way back in the memory banks...It seems like the truck and/or van spindles can be used on the C body cars. I don't believe the spindles are exactly the same though. Some custom made parts or machining may be required. It has been a VERY long time since I've talked to anyone about this subject...so my memory could be wrong.

Vans and trucks are front steer, I have a friend who has a set for a 69' C Body. Spindle height from ball joint to ball joint is different from a truck IIRC.
I did a disc conversion on a 68' Sport Suburban 20+ years ago and used 74' or 75' C Body with a 60' or 61' New Yorker Lower ball joint IIRC
