Got another truck, '82 Camper Special 2500 SWR 454 with a four speed on the floor.

Question is: where the hell can I get some lowering spindles for it? All I see is c10 and c30 spindles available. Not sure if c30 ones will work.

I'm plannin' on adding some dually fenders and some semis, by the way ;)

you can buy the c-30 spindles and use your 3/4 ton hubs.

if i wanted to run semi wheels on my 77 dually( i have beltech 3" spindles). all i would have to do is swap out my 1 ton hubs for 3/4 hubs. (then shorten my stock a-arms) it should all interchange.. at least that is what other people have done before. so , i assume it would work...

I thought you'd have to extend the control arms if you used 3/4 stuff and running semis?

My single cab is a C20 Camper Special, I put C30 1 ton 3" drop spindles on and had to change over to a 1 ton caliper. 3/4T rotors fit just fine, bearings, spindle nut washer,even the upper/lower ball joints are the same for 3/4T and 1T everything worked just fine. Now its too low and I have to remove the airbox for the AC. So Shaving the Firewall is up next. The C30 hub/rotor worked fine but I had tire clearance issues. So now they are tucking inside the fender big time and having to remove the factory wheel wells, they need to be replaced with something fab'd up.

I keep going back and forth wether or not I'm gonna dually it with semis or 1/2 ton it and run some 5 lugs.

Aren't my control arms the same as on the 1/2 ton. ball joints are different though?
