Do a search. You can cut the top mount and use them. Basically you can install the bottom caliper mount bolt swing it up, mark the boss a the top and cut it off.
The issue is not the spindle, but the cast in boss for the upper caliper is too thick. Old school fix was to machine it down. but now machine shops are rare and it is simpler to replace the spindle.
Right Stuff sells a kit that works with the drum spindle without any modification. The caliper bracket accommodates the higher bolt boss without having to cut it down.
I just did this conversion last winter on my 67 used right stuff parts great kit
Imo I would do the spindles as well its not very hard to do and if your old
spindles are original it may be time for them to be changed anyway
good luck with your project.:thumbsup:
