Does anyone offer a drop spindle that uses the stock rotor & caliper
from my 69

The new DSE stuff can use stock brakes, but has to be purchased as a complete system. Another option is tall ball joints from Marcus at SC&C. It will require new upper control arms.

I am 99% sure that the CPP 2 inch drop spindles allow you to use any size brake including stock.

This is typical right after an install. Give it a while and some road testing and it will settle a bit, especially if you have a big block and bounce it over a few speed bumps.

Also, Heidts has a new drop spindle that I THINK uses a wide variety of brakes, but call them to be sure.
