Hey everyone I need help, Ive been trying to find some sort of disc brake kit for a 35 dodge spindle would anyone have any ideas, there are 2 holes holding the steering arm on the bottom of the spindle and 1 hole on the top of the spindle.

That's a nice looking truck! Sorry I can't help on the conversion. Maybe someone here with more experience at this will know.

well Ron Pope and i have been talking about disc brake kits and brackets for a 35 dodge front axle when i came across a thread that youngster posted about a long time ago so I googled ford spindles on dodge axle and found this hopefully if someone else needs this info it will help them.

John,

There was this same discussion not to long ago. I can't remember who was asking but they to had a Dodge front axle and like spindles. I posted several sources for kits but didn't book mark them. Maybe someone here know how to do a search and find that information. If not I'll see if I can find the suppliers again.

Thanks George but I think Im going to use the ford spindles idea, mainly due to someone has modified the spindle and cut off the top of them flush with the top of king pin there was bolt holes for the backing plate that are not there anymore.Than welded on the arms they look good but they must have been made only for a spindle mount no brake deal
