Hahahaha....probably not! although if I move my hands in front of my face and I see waves, it's probably time to call it a night.

the heavy halfs have the same parts as the regular half, and you want the spindles for the 1 1/4" rotors....the stock disc brakes from 71-up are all 5 lug, you have to buy aftermarket rotors to have 6 lug....I'm not sure if the aftermarket rotors will fit the 71-72 spindles though...

Thanks Joe! I am working on putting some sort of cheat sheet together to make sure I get the right stuff.

Too funny Mike! Btw love the kick panels you made, sometime in the future(far future) I will be at the point to make some of those :)

no problem...one more thing to consider is the 73-up stuff has rubber control arm bushings compared to the metal ones on the 71-72's
rubber should give you a bit nicer ride

That is good to know, I am looking for a smooth ride so I will forgo the 71-72

There's another method I've read about for getting 6-lug discs. Use 67-72 3/4 ton LCA's and 88-98 1/2 ton ball-joints, spindles, and brakes. There's a thread on it around here somewhere... Here's one I have a set of 69 C20 LCA's stashed just for this :)

Interesting...adding to my list :) unfortunately probably even harder to find here, but who knows, I might get lucky :)

I picked up some Poly Urathane Bushings for mine. I am not sure if I want to use them and just use rubber instead so i do get a better ride. I don't know what the ride is like with the Urathane bushings. Anybody know?
