ok this is gonna sound wierd but... I am converting my FSJ d44 outers to 75 K10 chevy setup, but the chevy spindles are a little different then the fsj one.. does anyone know which years of each had the big bearing spindle?
Gonna order wheel bearings and want to know if the FSJ ones I have now are big or small.
also, My napa does not have either in stock so I can't just size it up.

It all depends which year front D44 you're working with. GM and FSJ fronts used the small-bearing spindle up until about '76, then they went with the big inner bearing (the outer bearing remained the same).
I'm not sure what you're changing there, though; the gm and FSJ spindles/hubs/rotors are identical for the given years, though there was some difference in the backing-plates and the tie-rod connection. The big-bearing spindles are usually preferred, unless you're swapping to the Ford hubs and rotors so you can use the 5 on 5.5" pattern to match a Jeep or Scout rear axle.
