Will do. You guys have any good salvage yards down there in La Junta? If not, I'll keep my eyes open for another set of spindles and backing plates.

Re: Front disk brakes, brake booster,rear seat?
UPullandPay here in the Springs has been having a rough time with Chevy spindle selection. Found an oddball today while I was REpicking spindles. A 77 C10 4x4 with one 1/2 ton spindle and one 3/4 spindle. Had to go knock the covers off an auto-locking hub to get my second spindle. Anyhow, there is only one 1/2 spindle you could use left there. I do have two extra backing plates now though.

From everything I read:
Spindles can come from 72-76 K5 Blazers and Jimmys and 72-77 10 and 15 Series GM trucks
Here's where I got all my info:
