This is not a job for a first time welder - if you really want to do this, hire a professional to do this work for you. Stress relief and probably heat treating is necessary.

Another option is to use spindles off something else, that has shorter arms, then fabricate what's necessary to make those non F-series spindles fit.

Visit a junkyard with a tape measure and have fun!
