There is no difference. I just put 74 Gremlin drums on the
63 American.  Bolts on, same height, Gremlin grease seal
and bearings fit in the AMerican spindle. Most definitely,
63 Classic == 74 Gremlin.

As far as I can tell, other than the later Matador etc "big
bearing" spindles, all AMC/Rambler/Nash spindles are exactly the
same EXCEPT that there are two heights of the base (thickness
where the bolts go through) -- a "tall" one used on many (but
apparently not all) AMC factory disc brake setups. The reason is
to clear the disc brake dust shield. THat's the only difference
and the only reason for the height difference.

I dunno nuthin about those "big bearing" spindles, and I've
never seen them. But they're from some far flung future, 1970's
I think. My time machine doesn't travel that far forward.
