i took my calipers off today. i noticed that the mounting holes on the spindles are further apart (3") than on a 69 beam (2 1/4") that i have in the garage. could somebody tell me what year my spindles are from, so that i can more accurately shop for parts? FWIW- it's a 65 that seems to have been bastardized.
i'd like to keep the 3" calipers, as the pads are larger.

If you have a 65 with disc brakes then it is not stock. If you have the wider spaced holes, then you have the mid 72 up spindles . The calipers and rotors are the same as a T-4 also.

thanks russ.
i'd guess that when it was switched to 12v, the front beam was swapped as well, to have the 4 luggers all around.
