Spindle Help
My father went and purchased a set of spindle's from a man out of town for his vehicle and the gent he talked to said they came from a mid 70's bronco 2. He went and looked for the last day and has come up with nothing on it yet. I've gotten a lot of help from everyone on the forum and was hoping they can again.
The only identifying numbers I got so far is on the back of the spindle it has this number
5D7AA
(ford)250
if there is anything else that would be needed to help identify these please let me know and I'll do my best to get it posted. They are 11'' 5 lug rotors if that helps any.
I tried searching through the forums but everything I found was for the F-series pickup. I'll try and post some pictures as well soon.

I think there is some confusion here as to what the donor vehicle actually is.
The Bronco II was introduced for the '84 model year. As near as I can tell, the Bronco II's rotors are closer to 10 inches in diameter. If it really comes off of something in '75, it did not come off of a Bronco II.
Maybe something off of the old classic Bronco which was made in the '70's, but I don't know what front axle it would have used. I doubt there is much from the classic '70's era Bronco that is a bolt on swap onto a Bronco II.

The Bronco 2 shares its suspension parts and other parts with the Ranger. The Bronco from the 70's that you are referring to shares its parts with the F150 & F250. None of the F series parts interchanges with the Bronco 2 or Rangers.

My father apparently has scraped the spindles as he had planned on using them on his car for a spindle swap but found they didn't work for it. Thank you everyone for trying to help with identifying these mystery parts, I greatly appreciate it.
