They have early ford round back spindles in thier catalog and on the web site but if you order from the web they will be back ordered cause they arent selling them any more! I tried getting a set thru kickinrods with king pins fitted and ready to go. It was a good deal cause brant got em for 180.00
Now it looks like im gonna pay 208.00 and get hosed shipping from speedway and pete and jakes.. Hopefully not...

It all depends on how you look at things. $125.00 plus shipping plus $35.00 for a kingpin set plus $25.00 to have a machine shop fit them for used spindles or $208.00 to be safe and have the look you wanted. All that figuring increases your level of stress. No one around here had a used fuel pump for that V6 of mine so by Rooster's suggestion I started Ebay shopping. Bought a $10.00 carburater that I'm waiting to get shipped, $12.00 shipping and found a new fuel pump still in the box from Atlanta $9.99 plus $8.50 shipping. Still cheaper than the $23.00 from NAPA but the money I saved is what it costs me to wait for the bids to close and the shipping to get the parts here?. It gave you time to put the Christmas tree in the front yard and make someone happy. Snow is going to fly and you won't be driving that car before the first of the year. Have a Merry Christmas and start now! GPster

From who? speedway or pete and jakes? I got my xmas presents from speedway today and im hoping the spindles will be here tomorow as they were shipped from pete and jakes yesterday and they are a little closer than speedway? If not ill bet they show up tuesday. I also ordered a grille from an ebay dealer cause they had the best pricing and they claim a lifetime warranty :?: Hell i used them all up once already :?:
I hope its a nice piece. IF it is they have some other deals also and im thinkin. Kinda funny it was my last day at work and all i wanted was my checks and 3:30 to come. I didnt feel very xmassy :!: Got home and found my parts and now its kickin in a bit. Too bad even though I had this purchase planned and I got a pretty good bonus today its all gone.

I love internet shopping

I still get to keep the cash ive been hiding though ! At least till Sue finds it

Chassis Engineering sells spindles with three different snouts; original Ford, GM rotor, and MOPAR rotor. Competitively priced.

Another cost consideration - original spindles have steering arms.
