Does anyone know if the spindles are the same for a 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton '58 Chevy Apache pickup truck?

I would like to order one of the disk brake sets, but I have a 3/4 pickup and was wondering if I would be running into any problems with the spindles.

Thanks.

The 3/4 ton spindles are not the same. they take a larger kinpin (around .9800" compared to .8500") and the bushings are a pressed-in type whereas the 1/2 ton is 'push-in'.

Hey thats good to know.
Thanks for the info. But I guess I was wanting a little different information about 3/4 ton spindles.

I guess I should ask the question in a different way .

Will I have any problems when ordering a disk brake kit for my 3/4 ton spindles?

Or, am I going to have to go to a 1/2 ton set up up front?

Thanks.
