Does anyone know if the later 4 piston caliper spindles fit on the earlier trucks?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure it's not a direct fit...something with the control arms if I remember correctly you might want to search www.s10forum.com in the suspension section -I'm almost sure I saw it covered there -

Hope this helps!

Just so you know, the 4 piston caliper swap means going to the sealed hub/bearing, which don't really last for squat. I did the 2nd two links myself, and my truck will FLAT OUT STOP HARD!!! :cool4:
