This thing weights a ton so be careful!

I just swaped parts. Get ball joints for a 71-72 and install them in the control arms. The ball joints will fit the earlier model control arms without modification, but have a different taper for the disc brake spindles.

I think you can keep the same tie rod ends, but if you go with the 71-72 units you will find them to be larger in diameter. This will require the use of the later model tie rod ends.

You will need to get a disc/drum master cylinder also. Drum/drum will not work. I would do the power booster install also, but the brakes will still work just fine with out it.
