I want to put front discs on a STOCK (undropped) 36 Pickup. I am leaving the original steering box, tie rod, and drag links in service. So I want to use a 37-48 spindle to make things easier. My issue is this: What bolt on steering arms to use on a stock 36 with original I-beam axle and original wishbone? I also want to retain the wide 5's all around, so I know I will need to use a wide 5 adapter on the new rotor. How will this affect the tire to fender clearances? I can't be the 1st guy down this path, but I can't find any steering arms that say they are good in a original situation as described. Just trying to avoid the domino effect when changing out parts for modern application. Help.
You dont need any steering arm exchange the 37-40 spindle steering arms are the same drop as the stock 36 spindles so as long as you dont swap the axle out for a dropped unit it is a simple parts swap and you use all the stock parts.
