Default 68 bb front spindle

hi everyone,

how to tell what front spindle is on a 68 vette? an original or a later one?

the spindle might have been changed sometime during the last 44 years.

the front bearings need to be replaced.

i read that from 69 on the spindle was thicker.

68 is a one year only, small (65-67) bearings but takes the larger (69-82)
1/2" bolts for mounting the steering arms.....I have some extra 69-82 (lg bearing) complete spindle assemblies if you or anyone else is interested.
