On my 70, I swapped in a 72 front axel and converted it to disc. Stops great.

What's your setup. Are you running big tires and a lift?

I'm running knuckles, hubs, and brakes off an '84 K5 on my front axle and a '72 Bendix booster with braided stainless lines. Rear is original style. Brakes work better than I can manage with the slow steering and worn out springs.

Stock brakes on our 72 with 33 inch tires and they work well enough. It will lock the tires up, found that out already :lol:
