Chevy D60 ? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

So i've never torn a chevy front 60 apart before, but i have done a ford 60. I'm wondering why there is a dust shield flange thing on top of the spindle. When i pulled the knuckle apart, it had this dust cover thing, then the spindle, then the caliper bracket. So, i'm wondering why this thing is there and, if it's really needed. My ford 60 didn't have one of these that i can remember. any info would be appreciated.
