C3 Front Spindles for sale....

I saw this ad and thought I would post it as these are a direct bolt in for '65-'68? "B" body. $100 is cheap. They actually have the same part number as these are what I used on my '66 'Chief. Worked very well.

I purchased C3 spindles off ebay for my front end upgrade to disc brakes.

You can use your existing steering arms off your B Body along with some used C3 hubs typically also found on ebay and everything bolts up nicely as per cdnpont's instructions on his C3 disc brake upgrade thread.

The C3 spindles I purchased were clean, painted with cast paint. I recall being recommended to make sure the ball joint holes on the spindles have not been hammered out of round.

I knew they were a straight forward swap so I just went to my local Corvette supply store a purchased a complete pair of cores. I used the spindles and replaced everything else. Fit like a glove. The rears where a different story. I replicated the '69 Camaro JL8 system. C3 brakes on all 4 corners........

What's nice about a C3 setup on a B body, is all the parts to make it work are readily available due to such a large Corvette following.

Not so with a single piston caliper setup.

When I did it on the 67, only the spindle, steering arm and hub were used. The one piece here that can give you trouble is that upper caliper carrier bolt. Odd size, it can be hard to find.
