Well, there are no numbers on the parts themselves, the Assembly Manual shows
the front axle, spindles, etc. as an assembly, so there are no individual part
numbers listed for the spindles, and the Shop Manual does not show numbers or
state whether the spindles are unique right to left. A vendor's catalog did
not have original spindles available, but did offer drop spindles, which had
the same part number in their catalog. So, I assume the spindles are the same,
since I can see no difference in them and apparently the drop spindles from
this vendor are interchangeable right to left.
Thanks.

List,
Can anyone confirm that the original, 1956, 1/2 ton front wheel spindles
(I-beam and kingpin suspension) are the same? If not, then which is right and
which is left? They appear identical to me.
Thanks
Doug
