F1 thanks for the reply. It seems that the A arm length is fixed due to having the spring located in it. But the spindle looked like it was designed to move the rotor further out probably for handling (wider is better). I know that it is a front steer, so the potential replacement spindles would have to have to be front steer as well. Looking closely at the pic, it just seems to me that the rotor is considerably further away from the ball joint than the older models I am used to. Even my 99 F150 doesn't have them that far out. If this doesn't work, it may be a frame transplant from a newer model Ford truck.

I wish I had more wrecking yards near by, it would make for a great field trip.

edit: I did check out Romak's build, it is one of several that got me thinking about this. He used the late model Bullitt wheels that have the negative off set. They look good, but I want to use steel wheels and still keep the rubber out of the fender.

Thanks again for the response.
