With all the Resto-Mods being built you'd think there'd be a glut of C2-C3 suspension parts on the market. Might check with some of the shops that do chassis mods vs all new frames.

Did you check with Bairs? Possibly they may have some.

Well I got my spindles today, yep not the right kind.
So, now I'm looking at C3 spindles again.
If I buy the whole assembly with the spash shield, hub, and steering arm will it work with the C2 Steeriods rack and pinion setup?
YES...I do this OFTEN....but I do not deal with the steeroids set-up.
I heard the C3 has a larger bolt hole on the steering arm-but is that the hole the rack would mount to or where it mounts to the spindle?

Just want to say thank you to everyone who commented and gave advice on this thread.
I went with the C3 setup. I found a restored set with hubs, new shields, bearings, seals, and steering arms for $400 on eBay.
Nabbed it up as fast as I could before someone else did

restored = a trip to the sandblaster, $400 WOW, I thought I was expensive at $250 a pair for an unrestored set.....I have an extra set of unrestored C-3 spindles if anyone reading this is interested.
