Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Ok guys I have run into a snag with the disc brake install. I installed the POL Disc brake conversion front hard line set and it fits pretty good. I got the CPP disc brake front conversion hoses from a board member and the hose ends are larger than the line ends my question can I go with a set of factory stye 71-72 front brake hoses?

The 71-72 hoses have two different size hose fittings. (thats the way they were from the factory) So you would still need an adapter on one side. I used the ECE conversion hoses on my red '69. They are a direct bolt on. I have extra long 73-87 hoses on my blazer, so it doesn't stretch the brake line so tight when air'd out. But they require an adapter also. I got my inverted flare adapters at my local ACE hardware store.

You need the "tube" adapter.

Slam Specialties bags have a huge port size, (3/8"npt or 1/2"npt), that requires a pipe thread bushing to reduce down to my PTC air line fitting. I think I used a uni-bit up to 3/4" and then cleaned up the hole with a 7/8" standard drill bit with a 1/2" reduced shank.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Oreilly's part number BH79339 and they are for 72 4x4. Had to cut the two ears off but they bolt up to the caliper just like the conversion hoses. Plus I didn't need and adapters
I still need to figure a sanitary way to mount them to the lower A arm. Any ideas?

Some more progress, check out how short the PO cut the stock coils. That's my 3" drop coils next to them.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Must be nice to have a lift and your own alignment equipment available to you.
You're killing your mods one by one!

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
And some pics of the finished product. The front ended up much lower than I really expected even though it was right on with Keiths red truck. It dropped an additional 1 1/2" I think the brakes may still have some air but we ran out of time so I'll have to bleed them some more. I forgot to tighten that little tiny plug on front of the prop valve Oh has a super nice stance and with 7" in wheels all around I am gonna just roll it for a bit......then maybe a drop member??

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Looks good.
The stance is perfect! The 4x4 hoses have a through frame connection just like the 73-87 hoses. I think there should be a nut on this hose to mount it solid to the bracket. How close are your a-arms to the ground? You might have to learn how to drive it differently. Watch out for potholes in the road!
