Just a guess, but I doubt you'll find spindles that will just bolt right up. Believe it or not, most hearses weigh way more than a half ton truck. You need to make sure any spindle you find that might happen to bolt in can handle the weight properly. You'd probably be better off with a combination of cutting springs and having a shop fab up a set of tubular A-arms for you.
I know it can be done with regular Cadillacs though, so I may just be talking out my ass, but when you get into pro-car chassis I know a lot of stuff is beefed up to handle the extra weight, and not the same parts as the comparable regular-chassied car.

Don't we all, lol.
I was never able to find any myself when I bagged mine either. (but mine is a '65). When I did the 4 wheel disc brakes on mine, I used spindles from a newer DeVille and custom control arms to get it to layout flat on the ground . My car only weighs in at 6k now so it's not much more than the DeVille.

Well I do know mine is all Cadillac up front .. it's all the same. What got beefed up was the rear suspension which is from a gmc 1/2 ton truck. I'm thinking gm should interchange with gm I can't imagine they would make different spindles between chevy,gmc, buick, ect. I could be wrong though.
