Spindle choices

Sorry if I'm too retarded to find an answer with search, but with Speedway's 2 spindle choices, why would someone pick one over the other? For the sake of conversation, let's pretend this person is putting together a '29 Chevy coupe with a Buick 215. And most likely would be using one of Speedway's axle kits, as well.

Brake choices seem to be about the same, and there is an axle kit for either, so 49-54 Chev or 28-48 Ford?

Well the only thing in favor for the Chevy's is their kingpin bushings do not have to be fitted after instalation due to Chevy's design.

Well, "for the sake of conversation", as you say, let's imagine you have found the perfect set of front wheels for your project - and that they happen to have a Chevy bolt pattern.

Wouldn't it seem reasonable to go ahead and use the early Chevy spindles, so you could use hubs and brake assemblies that would allow them to bolt right on?

Along the same line, let's say you are in love with Kelsey-Hayes spoked wheels as used on many Model A Fords. The same reasoning applies.

With all other factors the same (availability of hubs and brake drums to fit either type, etc.), I'd say wheel choice would likely be the biggest factor.
