Default Catalina spindles

Looking for front spindles for my 66 Catalina wagon. I think spindles from 65 or 66 will fit? Thanks

Correct. 67-68 are the same except lower steering arm holes are 1/2" instead of 7/16".

So a guy could use 67/68 spindles with a little modification? I can’t think of the correct name, but basically you’d drill out the hole to a 1/2” on the steering bar that spindle bolts to?

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't found anywhere that makes an aftermarket reproduction of them?

There's a '67 Delta 88 four door sedan in an East El Paso yard. Drum Car. I have no idea if there is any interchange here. The olds used a "speedo" cable deal, used on the left front backing plate, that may be proprietary to Olds.

Completely different animal. Not till 1971 did the spindles interchange for full size.

Those are 69-72 "A" disc - won't work with full size.
