Spindle/hub questions??
Wondered if you big car guys could help me out with a couple of questions?
1) Is the hub/spindle the same on a 59-64 Impala/Belair the same as a Pontiac? 2) If so, is there any other spindle a 59-64 hub will work on? A-body/B-body/F-body? Could have the spindle machined if necessary? Found a full set of front/rear Baer brakes for the Chevy and wondering if there is anyway I could use them on my '64 Lemans? Probably a long shot, but thought for the price it's always worth a try? Thanks in advance, Bob I copied this to the 61 and older up section also. |

No on the Chevy. The ball joints and suspension are entirely different unless it's a Canadian Pontiac. The Canadian Pontiac and Chevrolet Shared a chassis, Domestic units had an entirely different one.
Buick, Olds, Pontiac, Caddy, Chevrolet B bodies all use their own chassis until late 1970 when they all went to a corporate suspension. The A body cars used an entirely different chassis than the big cars. Mike

Thanks Mike,
I had searched the messages and thought they were all different, but not being at all familiar with them I wasn't sure. With regards to the hub itself, does anyone know if it could be used on another spindle? Where could a guy find the measurements of the shaft section of the Chevy spindle that the hub mounts to determine if a Pontiac could be machined to fit? Have tried searching the internet but haven't had much luck. Thanks again, Bob |

Contact Scarebird. He has a disc brake kit that works well.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
