Spindle nut kits?
I'm getting ready to do the CPP disc brake kit, and I realize I may have given away my spindle hardware when I donated the drum brake goodies some time ago. Does anyone know of a kit that contains the spindle nut, cotter pins, washers and the nut retainers? The usual F-100 places don't seem to carry them, anyone with a Joblot catalog care to do a lookup for me? Any other sources? Thanks for the help!
I think you are going to have to build your own kit. I get a lot of grade 8 bolts at Tractor Supply, perhaps there or some place like that you can find what you need.

I am using the stock 55 F-100 spindles.
354573-S Castle (Spindle) Nut 3/4"-16 .. 1948/66 F1/F100
B-1195 Washer 1948/56 F1/F100; 1957/66 F350 .. (used on the front spindle)-use with single rear wheels. (this is the heavy round washer with tab to fit in spindle groove). Note, the B in the part number is 1932 Ford, so this washer prolly fits a lot of 30's/40's Ford cars.
B5A-1131-A Dust Cap .. 1948/68 F1/F100
Here's a drawing from the midwestearlyford.com website:

The part # for the spindle nut is different, but should be right I think. Of course I could just get a 3/4"-16 castle nut from the local Fastenal store, the slotted washer was my primary concern. The website has both the nuts and washers in stock.
