X10 Modular Spindle for OBS?

[Erik E]

So CPP sells drop modular spindles (NBS) style for C10 gen trucks ending in 87. Any on know if there are plans to make a modern design hub spindle combo for OBS c1500? I really like the modern design but don't want to make all the mods to get NBS spindles to fit my OBS. My early ligt duty OBS needs a brake upgrade and these would make the most sense to open up my rake upgrade options.

I’d buy it. I’ve done a few spindle mods and I’d much rather buy a modular one, Since u usually have to buy dropped spindles anyway.

Only 1 person want to see this part available of our OBS?! All the threads about modifying NBS to OBS spindles. I would be much easier to update our trucks with brakes and bearings etc... let's drive the market on this. Vendors read this stuff.

Az performance makes a nice Modded spindle but it just needs the sealed bearing/hub upgrade, idk why they kept the old style bearings when they designed it

I doubt we'll ever see a product like this for the GMT-400. There's no compatible abs hub for the 95-98 guys with four wheel abs. The market for just the 88-94 trucks isn't large enough to justify the design/production expense. So, in order to make it work, someone would have to design/produce both a new sealed hub unit w/abs and the new spindle to mount it on. It would be absurdly expensive. The AZ pro performance front big brake kit is already $1500 with their spindles. Imagine how few people would consider buying it if it was $2000.

I’d buy the spindle, everything else is just a convienance purchase in most big brake kits. There’s diagrams online for the bracket dimensions, the calipers are stock items, the current “hub” is just a machined/cut down stock rotor with roller bearings.

Most gmt400’s had messed up abs modules from the factory lol I doubt losing abs is a big deal for the majority of customers buying these kits or doing these upgrades. My two cents anyway
