Re: HELP!!! Disc brake swap going horribly awry!!!
You're not an idiot.
So,... what I try to point out,... when rebuilding a 73-87 crossmember for these old trucks,... is that you don't really use many of the original parts from the swap.
Dust shields and maybe the steering center link.
Would you agree?
Your other option would have been to buy 63-66 direct bolt on spindles.
Then the rest of your parts could have been '66 parts.
Or if your original parts were in good shape,... you wouldn't have to change much.
Your quote:
Any cost savings I may have had doing it using doner parts was totally not worth it.
I don't see people say that much.
Thanks for the input.
You will help many.
Plus,... now you are an expert,... so you'll be ready to tackle this swap with ease next time.
