I have a set of '75 front brakes/spindles and a set of '80 vented brakes/spindles for sale or for trade for a set of S10 brakes/spindle, if anyone is doing a restoration. Both are low mileage.

Your timing is perfect. I can bring the set from my car when I pick up the rocker molding. Did you decide on the axles? I did not pull mine out yet.

Sorry, I should have posted earlier. A set of S10 spindles was obtained. Thanks Doug.

Formula Nut, the original spindles and rocker moldings are still available. Send a text. I don't get to the post everyday.

I could only find door pin bushings being sold in boxes of 25. I used a set on the Sunbird and need a set for the Monza. If someone needs a set, I have 9 available.

I bought sleeves for the ball joint to allow S10 spindles to be installed. Is there an issue with camber with this swap? The only thing I've noticed so far is the reduced turning angle at full lock. However, I have not tried to get it aligned yet.

We have tried to find something for 10 months. At this point I think we will just convert it to the Monza tail. Found this in the junkyard last weekend..
