I thought he said they were real GN spindles.   If so, they are larger and much beefier than stock B-body parts.

The spindles are the 2 inch drop spindles I ordered from magnum force. The hubs I got from mittler brothers and is a grand national hub. The bearings didnt fit as they dwarfed the mopar bearings. IBT bearings cross referenced the inner bearing with a smaller ID for the spindle. The outter is not to be had so I had a bushing fabricated for those.  The wheels are double center  buick and pontiac welded in a custom hub. This was done by hollowman and moody way back in the 60`s and early 70`s. That gives you your 5 on 5 bp

My '72 Imperial has a 5 on 5 bolt pattern.

I wonder if the Imperial spindle/bearings/rotor could be used for this wheel set up :scratchchin:

Larry (HotRod) got my nose and used it on the black daytona he built as I had a friend who was gonna make a couple out of steel. Well here she is but not finished yet. I also have a new nose from Janak which I picked up friday while visiting family. Now over christmas break it will be thrashing time.

Got a liittle more done over the christmas break. Got the doors and fenders located so I could measure and cut my fenders.  A friend and charger 500 owner was cringing when I told him I had lowered my car and was getting ready to cut. Oh well. 3 years ago I couldn`t give this shell away so I gathered fenders doors and here I am. Its starting to come together.
