I'm in the process of putting an independent front suspension in my '65 A100, and as a result have a complete stock front suspension to sell. I have everything from the steering column to the hubs. The drop axle and springs were rebuilt a few years ago and the truck has been disassembled for quite some time. Everything replaceable has been replaced. Less than 50-60 miles on everything. Steering gear box was restored by Steer & Gear at the same time. I would consider this stuff as good as new. I am located in central California. For anyone interested, please PM me and we can discuss it. Thanks, Doc.

Re: complete front suspension
I need the front right wheel Spindle (Knuckle) for my A108 van. It needs to be the 2500 lb axle with 11 inch drum version. If this is not it, got an idea where I can find one? CharlieP

Re: complete front suspension
I’m not sure if mine is 2500 axle, I think it might be. I would rather sell the whole axle assembly rather than piece it out.

Re: complete front suspension
Doc, What's the brake drum diameter? How about a picture of the brake drum and shoes?

Re: complete front suspension
Just checked the vin tag and it says the front axle is a 2200#. Brakes are the smaller 10”.

Re: complete front suspension
WOW, I finally did find one locally, but I may want another for a spare. What do you want for it? I am in San Diego. Where are you?
