Been a long time since I posted, but I am getting back to the 70 after a long time. I am interested in the front swap to get disc brakes and to get discs on the rear. I am not sure all the work is worth it when you can buy the whole conversion kit for $1500.

Someone please jump in here and correct me if I am wrong. About $500 to do the rear using caprice brakes and the cost of the front end plus all the labor to clean everything up for the front + miscellaneous parts and soon I would be close to the 1500 for the kit and everything is new.
