Re: conversion, power brake and steering

I haven't looked on here to see if someone has a thread on doing the conversion. But I am sure there is considering all that everyone has done. I am mechanic and mechanically inclined. Pretty much all you will need is the power brake booster and bracket for the firewall with a master cylinder and proportioning valve for disk brakes. You will also need the brake pedal assembly.

A long with that, you will need the spindle hub (and all hardware such as disk and caliper). You can use your existing control arms, but you will have to swap your ball joints to ones a disk brake set-up would have.

You will find the disk brakes on 70-72 chevy's, gmc's, and blazers.

Hope this is helpful. I am gathering parts for this swap myself. Though I have to buy new parts for the hub and such to keep mine 6 lug.
