Re: Help! Plz
Yes you can if your rear end is a leaf spring set up. Wont work if it is coil springs

Yep...the front x-members will swap as well....go ahead and use the booster and all...probably the easiest route is to unbolt and swap

Re: Help! Plz
Don't tell me you're going to rob parts off that nice blue truck just to get disc brakes.
Just buy some $219 dollar 63-70 conversion spindles and auto parts stor 1-1/4" rotors and calipers,... and add them too your white '70. Use a 71-72 M/C and prop valve and you are done. For the rear,... buy a set of Moser axles and 71-72 5-lug brake drums. The days of finding oem parts to do disc brake conversions are over. And a crossmember swap is completely unneccessary!

Re: Help! Plz
Just my opinion,... but that's crazy.
You will have to buy rearend saddles for the trailing arm rearend. You will also have to buy a super track bar since the later rearend has no place to attach the track bar. I could understand if it was a beater parts truck,... but to destroy a perfectly good squarebody just to get the brakes?

Not without spending a bunch of money, parts swapping, brake tube bending, and bleeding, etc. Not just a bunch of parts swapping. I assume your '70 has trailing arms, not leaf springs? The prop valves are in different locations, M/C are diffferent, etc. Plus,... who would want that squarebody with drum brakes? Sell the blue truck and buy a disc brake kit for your 70,...
