OK, since I am striking out on finding a way to add disc brakes to the closed knuckle, I am seeking an open knuckle. I have a line on a mid 70's set-up from a Chevy, from the looks of them it is a pretty easy swap. The shock mounts and spring perches look like they are where they need to be. I'm sure that there are plenty of you who have done this swap. I am looking for knowledge here, what do I need to know about this swap? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
