Re: how to do a front disc swap?

After alot of thinking and research, I decided to hold off on the front end swap. It seems that after pulling the crossmember, tearing it apart, having it painted, replacing the tie rods, ball joints, seals, etc etc, it might be only a little more to purchase new aftermarket parts, plus I get to keep the 6 lug spindles. Also, the swap will only upgrade my suspension from 1967 front end to 1973 front end - I assume this isn't that significant.

I haven't ruled it out completely, still doing alot more research on disc brake conversion and power steering upgrades and what these will cost.
