Thanks guys. I found one.

In need of a good left front 57 Olds spindle. Anyone?

Have access to an crashed 57 88 sedan. Anthony TX. Amateur restoration it was smashed LF corner. The spindle may be bad I simply don’t know, haven’t combed over this car very closely. If you can’t find another closer, PM me. Dave S

I don't have a Hollander Manual for Interchange on these years. Am sure an Expert here can let you know what years and or Models interchange. Do know a Guy with a Horde of '58 Buick stuff, but suspect it's all different.

Ya, i think Buick's are different. But i do believe 58 Olds are the same.

Charlie Jones

According to the Hollander;
1957 Olds is all by itself, '58 is not the same. Neither is Buick.
Factory part numbers are LH 570039 and RH 570038.

Hey thanks Charlie. I figured Buick was not a match, but i was told that 58 Olds was the same. You just clarified that for me. Thanks for your time and now the search goes on. I did get a PM from a guy on here that said he had it, but he was quickly discovered to be a scammer. Was not a member and had the typical broken spelling in his wording and wanted a text message or return email to a rather unique address. Go figure. Thanks again for your help, Mark.

Ideally get a spindle AND the left-hand threaded spindle nut as they are drying up. Condolences if you found out the left-hand part the hard way.

Guess you’re all set now, but did take these pictures today. Someone took pretty much all brake hardware, the drums, and front hubs. Left spindle has hammer damage to splines. Right spindle is good. Have to wonder, can R spindle be used on L side, are they swappable? That way one could get a RH threaded deal on both sides. For some reason, the wheel cylinder mounts on the front backing plates appear "offset" so the backing plates are side specific. Am guessing also studs in rear axle flange could be “swapped” over to LH side as well, in order to get RH stuff.
