replacing a 1956 olds 88 spindle

Just a question from the knowledgeable ones. I need to replace the drivers side spindle and king pin bushings. What years are compatable with my 56?
Thanks all great wise ones, Michael

Hi Kapt'n, let me go out to the shop tomorrow and look at something. I dont want to make a mistake here. But for now ,I will say,that 98 spindles are a little bit bigger than the 88's (in '56). Jeff

Jeffrey,
Thanks for your time, and quick response. Michael

OK, the 98's are bigger (just enough to matter). As far as other years, I dont know right off the top of my head, but if it REALLY becomes an issue, give me a yell and I'll pull a wheel each off the 55 and the 53 and find out. See Ya, Jeff
