What spindle do I have?

[Suspensiondude]

I am trying to identify a Mopar spindle. I have dug around on this website for hours and can't find the info i need. The knuckle itself seems very tall. It is a disc brake knuckle that is 6.75 inches tall from the spindle centerline to the top of the upper ball joint pad. 2 inches from the spindle centerline down to the lower ball joint mointing bolt centers. The spindle itself has a seal surface diameter of 1.75 inches and a large bearing surface of 1.25 inches diameter. What the hell spindle do I have? Can anybody help me please?

Do you know it came off of a Mopar vehicle?

Just curious,

Yes it is a Mopar style spindle. It may be aftermarket....It came off a highly bastardized suspension system ( Corvette front rack with the spindles flipped from side to side...) on a 70 300C. Please see photos of the spindle. The spindle in question is the silver one. Beside it is a more common B body large bearing spindle. ( black)

No aftermarket C-body spindles that I know of.

I'd say that is a C-body spindle based on the height.

Here's a picture (not mine) of a '68 Dodge Monaco drum brake spindle. Taller, right side of pic. I'm not sure of the interchangeability between '68-'70, but I tend to think they are the same. Part numbers (I looked it up in parts book) are different though.

Okay, your 68 and my 70 definitely look similar! My C body experience is somewhat limited, apparently! Thanks for the help!

These are 1970 Sport Fury.
Do your wheel bearings have identification numbers stamped on them?

Those photos are disc brake spindles. '68 and the '69-early '72 spindles are definitely different and don't interchange. The entire brake/spindle/ball joint assembly will, as a unit, but, no individual parts will. The '66-8 C-body uses the Budd brakes. The '69-up models use Kelsey Hayes.
