Can anyone out there save me some time?? I just picked up a complete set of spindles and brakes off of a 69 Galaxie to swap over to my 57 Ranchero. Any issues or unforeseen problems I might run in to?

Thanks-
Rick

i'm working on a 2 door hardtop, and i used 70 spindles on it. i found that the tie rod ends were too short to allow proper toe in adjustment, i had heard they were a direct swap, but not for me. i'm going to get 70 tie rod ends for it to correct this problem.

Thanks for the info. Please keep me posted of your progress.

I put on 71 LTD Disks on mine. I had no problems with tie rod ends at all. I ran the stock manual steering parts.

@PepFalcon: Do you have power steering or the manual?

One thing to think about that I didn't, was the hub is bigger in diameter than stock. Kind of limits you with custom wheels.

Very easy swap for me.
