Disk brake conversion. 72' Cheyenne.

[Carystone72]

I have a 72 K10 that has all wheel drum brakes. I would like to do a disk swap in the front, up to what year Chevy trucks can I swap them out from?

Thanks.

A 72 has front disc brakes from the factory already

No you don't................. either the paper work is forged making it a 72 or you haven't pulled the front wheels off

In any case how should I go about changing to it front wheel disks? Can I just swap the rotors and calipers from a 73-87?

Something doesn't add up here. You want to swap discs onto a truck that already has discs? And you want to use a different year's parts instead of a matching year for some reason?

With only 2 prior posts we don't know any context or anything about your truck or project, so you'll have to fill us in.

If "just tell me if it fits" is all you need, Hollander Interchange is what you want, not us...

[too much stuff]

I think 71-87 is pretty much a bolt in if you don't have discs already. (the complete axle assy) Remember to match the gear ratio.
And 71-72 would have factory disc brakes already. Drum brakes with open knuckle would be a 70 and drum with closed would be 69 and older.

It has all wheel drums currently, I wanted to go to the junkyard for all the parts I need and was nust wondering if the different years match up. For a front disk swap.
