Chebby Disc Conversion Ooops

[TOOLMAN]

After pulling apart the front end, I've realized my dumb a$$ got big bearing spindles from the junk yard. Since I've already spent $75 on these parts (spindles, backing plates, calipers, etc.), I've read that guys have taken the big bearing spindles to the machine shop and had them turned down to the small bearing size. Does anyone have some dimentions I can take to said machine shop to make sure it gets done correctly? Also, if anyone has done this procedure, how much did they charge?

print this out and take it with you. it needs to be machined down to 1.875".

my dad turned mine down for me and it didn't take him very long I don't know how much a shop will charge.

Thanks for the info fellas! 73stallion, I take it the spindle on the right is the original Ford drum spindle and the one on the left is the dimensions of the Chebby small bearing disc spindle. Also (not to be nitpickky just double checking) don't you mean machined down to 1.785"?

Will the bearning work off the drum set and locking hubs work. Greg

We too have turned down a set but I say take your bearings to them and let them measure then if it's not correct your can grip..Say make this fit this..We too have our own lathe I'd think 50 to 75bucks..
