Hi everyone, I have a question about G body drop spindles. I ordered a set for my GN powered 81 El Camino hybrid. I got them from a speed parts franchise called Competition Sales. The counterman says they are really for an S10, but they fit and all components bolted up without any issues. I swapped the 7.5 rear for the 8.5, and to keep the lug bolts and nuts the same I put new Regal rotors on the front. My concern is the wheel bearings. The original bearings had an external race, but the replacement Regal bearings do not, the have some sort of blue plastic inner race that keeps the rollers linked together but they seem to fit with no issues. Can anyone say if there is a G body specific drop spindle, and what inner/outer wheel bearings to use?
