Is that price for the pair or only one.  Either way, thats a cheap price.  Almost too cheap, raising the question of how much you should trust them.

That's a good price for those. Just about everything is being made in China now. Albet they are too.

Keep in mind that Ebody 70-72 rotors generally cost alot more than the 73 up rotors. So you would save more in the long run going with the later year spindles.

Magnumforce makes 2" drop spindles for Mopars that are USA made and very high quality. They are also the 73-74 style, so you can get the less expensive rotors ( or convert to 11 3/4" rotors). They cost twice as much ($325), but I've used them for a year without worries or problems. Not sure why those other ones are so cheap, but i know it makes me wonder. You know what they say about being too good to be true...

I have a set of 73-74 spindles if you are interested. Not sure what they are worth, I know I spent too much and never used them.

The MF spindles are nice, but I have little to say about there customer service. I personally will never buy anything from them again.

Those must be drum brake spindles (they go back to '62).

I have a set of MagnumForce dropped spindles on my 71 Cuda. Very nice and they work great!

I've heard magnumforce doesn't have the best customer service before, but I called them a few times before I made my purchase and thought they were very helpful. My spindles didn't ship for 4 or 5 days if I remember right, but once they did I got them the next day ( I live in CA). I even called them while I was installing my spindles too with a couple questions and had no issues, they were able to answer all my questions.  I'm perfectly happy dealing with a smaller company that may not have a full customer service team if it means my parts are actually made in the US. I won't put Chinese junk on my car if I have a choice, and spindles are definitely not something I'd want to compromise on.

I'd have no problems buying from them again, and I probably will before too long, they have a ton of great products.

In my experience, MagnumForce has always provided great service. They were very helpful every time I called whether it was questions about the order or installation. I received my brakes, dropped spindles and all the other stuff I ordered in a timely manner. When I went to install months later, I discovered that the calipers didn't fit properly with the dropped spindles. I called MagnumForce -- apparently I didn't receive a couple of spacers that should've come with my order. They rushed a pair out to me right away, and everything worked great. I have to say that MagnumForce is great all the way around.

 Wow, I thought this was a post about a brand of spindle, didn't realize it was a post about Magnumforce.
