Hell yea man, nice work. That looks awesome. I can definitely appreciate this route rather than a later axle swap.

i like most of the quirks and inconveniences of old cars and trucks, it is part of their character. but disc brakes are one modernization i fully support. one reason i went with a 72 was for the original disc brakes.
