Disc Brake Conversion
 

What will it take to convert the front drums to disc? Any suggestions

Welcome to the board. Check out our FAQ's plenty of info there on this question.:D

theres a fella in my area that specializes on our trucks and his advise to me was " find a doner and just remove the subfraim, 6 bolts and it rolls out and just swap em" how far from the truth that is i have no idea but thats what he told me

It's a little more involved than that but not too much. Brake lines and pitnam arm have to be disconnected.

if you use a 73 and up donor truck,brake parts are much less expensive and a whole easier to find.

The crossmember is held in by 7 bolts per side.
