hey i m doing a tall spindal upgrade on my 67 and was wondering if there was anu differences or advantages to the "b" over the "f" body spindals? I already have the conversion pieces and hotchkis uppers c5 brakes. Thanx

Not if you already have the brake setup. Some of the b-spindles allow you to use 12" rotors. Just keep an eye out for spindles that use the larger outter bearing, and that's about it. I personally prefer using the 74-78 F-spindles. Check out some of the donor lists at Hotchkis or Global West for specifics.

Some other differences to be aware of:
- The tie rod arm is further towards the center of the car for a B body spindle (later years anyways). Not a big deal but it does make your toe real goofy so you need to fix that before a drive to the aligment shop.
- Some B body spindles, I think just the later year HD suspension cars, use a bigger diameter lower balljoint. You would need to change your balljoint if you did use that but I would stay away from those.
- You can still buy new B body spindles from GM, cheap, less then $100 in the US (they are like $400 in canada, not sure whats up with that)
