I'm doing the drum-to-disc swap on my '68 Satellite, and I'm trying to assemble all parts before tearing down the original suspension.

Since I'm using FMJ spindles, my bolts are incorrect for B-body steering knuckles. I need the type that accept a cotter pin with a castle nut at the back, like so:

If you have four with their castle nuts, give me a shout. Also would be interested if anyone knows a source for them new.

I have a set of four need them still? 28 with the ride. Pm me if you want them
 
Not working I assume you want them?
 
It is a four door belvedere all the front suspension is good and straight.

Your post is missing, Snakeoil; let me know what you had in mind.

EDIT: Found your reply. This is what I see there: http://www.megapartsusa.com/products.asp?cat=621

I don't see the knuckle bolts and castle nuts listed anywhere on their site.

EDIT #2: Found an idler arm and castle nut, and "front shock lower bolts and nuts" which look like it, but that description doesn't match up, and they're locking nuts, not castle:

Am I missing something here?

Email sent. FYI, I hid the email address for his security. You might want to update your post likewise.

He just send me a message on the way back from Carlisle. Says he found the bolts on his site with lock nuts, not castle nuts.

So much for that. Went for '68 Charger's bolts.

How are the interior A-pillars?

Very nice actually they are blue also. There is a pic in my 66 belvedere parting out thread
