    So, I would like to know if I can use 70-73 torino spindles with all the hardware mounted on them on my maverick. I easily can get torino parts here in Tennessee and need to know if the spindles (loaded) will fit on my maverick. It's a 74. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

    Only through 1971, '72 & up is a totally different vehicle(and far more common) AFAIK those all had discs, while they were a option on '71 & earlier...

    The '68 & '69 Torino, Fairlane, Falcon, Ranchero, Cyclone, Montego etc are also same, but use slightly smaller bearings and tie rod pins... I have the '69 parts on my Comet...

    :Welcome:

    Hi Marc - I moved your post to a new thread all your own. The other thread was from 2006.
