if you cant find a good set of spindles, there is a good alternative now.

They are different, but only at the bracket mounting boss.

 

Measurement below shows the distance off the spindle flat to the upper caliper bracket bolt of a disc spindle. It's 1 9/16".

This spindle is the same 69-70 Impala or 69-82 Corvette.

A 69-70 Impala drum spindle has a taller mounting boss. I suspect it could be machined down and tapped to the 1 9/16" seen above, and you'd have yourself a disc spindle.

 

You can see that tall drum boss on the right image. Pre 69 small bearing drum spindle shown. 

Rotors are actually available now. Centric 120 62066.

Use a 69/70 drum hub, Dorman 610-259 studs, C3 rotors and you are also covered.

It's the 69/70 Splash shields, Caliper brackets and Calipers (in that order) that can be pretty to tough to find.

Readily available on eBay.

 there is a corvette shop just up the road from me and he has 2 for me. glad you posted they were the same

The shield seals? I just trace the old ones out on some thin cork/neoprene gasket sheet and cut my own. I have a roll of it.

You know where to drop it all off!

When you said pitted you weren't kidding were you! Did you dig them up?

The seals are the same as 63 - 82 Corvette.    

Corvette America used to sell them by the pair, but now individually.

Part # 34060  63 - 82 Front Brake Splash Shield Gasket.  They're a perfect fit.

There's got to be a Corvette Restoration place nearby that you can get them at.
