Use ball joints to match whatever year spindles you use.

The brake hoses must be disc brake type. They are completely different on the caliper end than a drum brake hose. I recomend you call Early Classics and order their special drum brake to disc brake conversion hose set they sell. Cost is 60 bucks.

The steel brake lines on the disc truck are also completely different versus the drum brake truck ones. It's either fess up for the ECE special hoses or bend a new set of steel lines for the front crossmember area. If your truck is assembled and the engine isin place, it's a royal pain to bend those new lines all over the place and those 60 dollar ones from ECE look real good about that time.
