hey guys,
i dont know if I am tired, drunk or stupid (or all three) but for the life of me, i cannot recall if it goes knuckle, spindle caliper bracket, or caliper bracket then spindle as i am putting my front 60 back together. Can someone shed some light on this for me. 88 kingpin.

Also, tried to put my new 15x10's on with just the caliper bracket on (outside of the spindle is how I have it now) and the rim doesnt even clear the bracket, so I am guessing it will really hit the caliper. I was told the 382-s bearing race would push it out some, but I cant imagine the 15's ever fitting. Looks like I am going to 16's or better
thanks

So Damon what your saying is that you are not perfect?

Thats odd becuase neither am I.

We all have our "times" from time to time.
Its all good bud.

How much BS are you using? I'm at 2.75" and it clears just fine. I think there was a small ridge on the caliper that I rounded off, but that was it.

I think your problem is the backspacing. I was told for a 15x8, the max BS should be 2.5inches

Yeah, the caliper bracket goes on before the spindle. The reverse of Chevies.
