Re: modernizing a 67-72 suspension affordably
I dropped mine 2 1/2 f 4 r and did the disc upgrade with a kit. It's a sixty eight so came with drums. It rides much better (it should the pass side front spring came out in 3 pieces) handles better and stops much better. Sway bar for the front is in the works. I haven't relocated the shock mounts yet, but it probably wouldn't hurt. One thing to keep in mind while you decide, is that the parts for the later model crossmember are cheaper and usually easier to find though all are available. I'm probably at $1000 in the disc kit, new springs, replacing Ball joints and adding the power booster and new MC. I got a sway bar for under $20 at the Pull a Part and need to spend $24 on brackets and another $20 or so on new bushings.
