Hollander does not show them as a replacement. My guess is that they look the same but are taller than a Chevelle spindle. You can verify this by measuring the distance from one of the outside mounting bolts to the center bolt. If the distance is longer than a Chevelle, the spindle is taller.

A Vista Cruiser is a Olds Cutlass wagon. I would imagine that the spindles and brakes would interchange easily. I am refering to the old 1969-1974 olds wagons, if it is a late model then all bets are off :D

It's a long rood Cutlass just like a Chevelle wagon or a Pontiac Wagon. They are a direct bolt on. Cutlass is an A body therefore so is the Vista Cruiser. The suspension is interchangable.

121" wheelbase vs. 116" for a Chevelle or Lemans wagon. The Buick Sportwagon through '69 was the same deal.
