So I’m looking for some front spindles for my 1/2 ton and not coming up with much. What is the differences between them and the bigger sizes? I’m sure it’s gotta be bearing sizes and just overall size differences? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that you could use 47-5? And the only differences were the 4 bolt hole diameters were larger I believe?

The lower two bolts went from 7/16” to 1/2” when Bendix brakes came in, in 1951.
Other than that they are the same.
That would be 1951-59.

So will 47-51 also work?
