Re: HELP!!! Disc brake swap going horribly awry!!!
I bought a complete crossmember off of a 73 to 87 C10 for $60 (truck was crushed long ago). When I got it, it was just the major components, the consumeables were all missing. My donor parts were a center link, idler arm mount, and spindles W/ dust shields. I destroyed the A-arms trying to rebuild them, so into the scrap heap they went. I'm just lucky that I got HD spindles, and that the CPP 6 lug rotors I got worked on them or I would have been hosed. I had bought new rims and swapped the tires over earlier in the week in anticipation for the swap.
What I meant about the cost savings part is I should have just gotten the convversion spindles, kept the 66 steering stuff. I lost probably 4 to 5 hrs during the days I was working running back and forth to the parts store to exchange a defective or incorrect part. Everything I had ordered was for a 73-87 C10 too.
