Re: '67 Alignment issues after '74 Disk brake swap
Yeah, I feel like I read a thread that had done just the ball-joints and thought to myself "that seems a lot simpler! Lets do that!" To that poster's credit, that part was correct, the '74 balljoints did fit perfectly in the '67 control arms....
I used a master cylinder and booster from the '74 and remade all new hard lines (mine were rusted out badly)
The spindles were definitely off a 3/4-ton, I'm using the same wheels and that all works fine.
In terms of swapping the cross-member, as I've already got the '74 spindles adapted to fit the '67 tie rod ends, and Toe aligned just fine, I may as well use the spindles I've got (they're already cleaned and painted) and just swap the cross-member and control arms, right? I am planning an engine swap anyways, so I'll try and have a cross-member ready for when I do that.
I was mostly curious to see if anyone had done just the upper control arm and had it work. Seeing as how alignments (shims!!) are ~$150, I think I'll just go with the one I know will work.
