Local mechanic thought that if I had the spindles with  the correct caliper
mounting hole size and distance apart, I could keep and  install my new
calipers by changing the spindles.
Turns out, I have a  set of spindles, kept in nice plastic
bags...accidentally discovered just  last week.  I have no idea what year 
car
they are from....maybe from  the otherwise useless '71 axle beam?

I'll crawl under and compare these  parts to what's on the car...but...as
ever...are there surprise differences  between a '71 spindle and a '73?
(...besides the caliper mounting holes,  that is.)
 
The big difference between 71 and 72 is the caliper mounting bolt hole  
spread. It changed from 2.5 to 3 inches. The calipers also changed to the 2  
bleeder crew type, and the rotor diameter changed as well.
