Would this work.?1970 early bay
Standard beam with dropped spindles with wide five csp disk brake conversion kit . Standard steel wheels. Would I have clearance in wheel arc tub? Don’t really want to narrow front beam and want to have ride quality of dropped spindles😀. Thought I’d ask before purchase and assembly. Thanks in advance for any suggestions
 
Hard to answer without knowing which spindles...

What's the drop on them?

P.S. dropped spindles don't magically improve your ride quality - so if that's your reason for swapping then you might want to rethink. Proper shocks (of the right sizes and ratings) are the main ingredient that will do that for you.

Hi there I’m currently running a rusty cut&turned and welded beam with drum brakes but have a solid beam which I plan to refurb and convert to disks. Was gonna buy 2” dropped spindles and csp disk kit. I believe my tyre sizes are 185/65/14.

If you're running standard tyres, then they will rub on the outer edges of the arches and the wheel tubs. I'm not sure if the CSP brake kit widens the track as well to make more rubbage.
