I read in one of the interchange books that 76-78 Cadillacs used the same spindle, only it was a lighter design.

So all the mid 70's are the same ? When I looked up the cast number, only the Camaro comes up....I just thought that it would be better to get a new one. That you know for sure is good...

New stuff is often cast instead of forged… not sure on those. 73-77 mid size GM is the same.

actually no 73-77 are much much larger you don't want them they are geometrically the same but weigh several lbs more

Camaro, 78 up to 88? impala,75-79 nova etc are all the same

I ran Camaro for 10 years on pavement I only ever damaged one I would be happy with used

I believe 70-81 Camaro should all be the same 2nd gen spindles

The 79-81 camaro spindle uses a larger inner wheel bearing and a different rotor, but is otherwise the same.
