64 Jetstar 88 front end question
So the info Ive gathered (a large part from this forum, thanks!) the J88 shares the same control arms with the Dynamic and Super 88s and the brakes with a Cutlass. Which is why the spindles are one offs, rare, and basically annoyingly difficult to work with. My question is can I swap a complete Dynamic/Super front end under my J88? Larger brakes and all. Will that give me more aftermarket/parts support or just be a waste of time? I building a mild custom out of it and Id like to avoid some of the quirks of the J88 (already had to deal with the waterpump, really dont want to go through that with the spindles) Thanks for the help!

Ok cool, that makes sense. I was thinking a complete setup, control arms, hubs, brakes. Forgot the bolt patterns changed. Right now the Supremes that Im running are unilug so I should be ok there. Im looking to lower the car and thinking drop spindles for a Dynamic would be easier to find. Thanks so much for the help!
