Fat Man fabrication has them,but they are based on the Volare spindle.You'll have to change over to the larger ball joints and brakes (73 up A-body disc etc) to use either of these spindles.

I have brakes for the early model and I'm not looking to change the offset either

The upper ball joint has a larger stud in it. They do make spacers so you can still use the small stud ball joint though.

Strange that there's no mention of this in the brake swap article ...

Maybe it only applies to these aftermarket spindles ????

the HDK kit that Denny Laube sells over on forabodies is offered with drop spindles if you are looking for that. i'm pretty sure his kit uses wildwood mustangII-type 1" or 2" drop spindle or 0" drop. some autocrossers use it, but his kit is real good for drag because it has zero toe change from 10" compressed all the way to 15" fully extended.
(i.e. no bump steer from fully compression to full extension)

those kits are nice, but cost just under $3k

Phone # for HDK ? I can't find it

I have 9 in drum spindel that is drilled for the big ball joint . My rotors fits that spindel . Magnum force only makes the drop for a 73-76 that takes a larger bearing in the rotor . Also the 73-76 moves the wheel toward the outside of the body

sent you the contact info. his stuff is a kit, the spindles would not be a stock bolt on in place of your spindles.

that being said, his kit does not move the wheels inward or outward from stock.
