drop spindle/disc brake conversion question
 
I've decided on drop spindles and disc brakes, but I have 2 last questions to know what I need to know.
1) I see that the vendors all say "Will not work with stock wheels" I wanted to stay with rally's-will they fit? (15X8, probably)

2) What about sway bars? Will they still work (or fit)?

Thanks.

If the ralley wheels are from a 71 and later they should fit. I have a set of 6 lug rallys on my 69 P/U and have no problem. I would think yes to the sway bar question.

15x8 will be a tight fit. There may be a slight amount of rubbing around the area where the balancing weights mount and the lip of the control arm. 15x7s are a lot better fit with drop spindles.

Sway bar will fit as stock.
