The third spindle is the '65-'70 Chevy drop spindle from Classic Performance Products. It's their own in-house design and is very close to the design of a Pontiac spindle. The ears had to be trimmed off the front side of the lower A frame, but that was a minor modification. | The third spindle is the '65-'70 Chevy drop spindle from Classic Performance Products.

Here is where the bolt-in mock up was really appreciated. The dropped spindle from Classic Performance Products (CPP) was almost 2 inches longer than the stock spindle. Not a problem, and, in fact, they say that the longer spindle gives more stability. However, the longer spindle changed the geometry, and the location of the upper control arm mounts had to be replaced. Fortunately, it wasn't welded in at this point. | Here is where the bolt-in mock up was really appreciated.
