Factory disc brake options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm sure this has been addressed before ... and I'll apologize now, but ... I have a '68 drum-drum LWB. I've acquired a power brake booster, master cylinder, and prop valve. These after-market disc brake kits are a little over-priced IMHO ... high demand, yes ... over-priced, yes. Outside of lucking into a 6-lug '68 disc brake truck, what other factory options are there?

WARNING: The following question is going to be dumb ...

What is the difference between the '67-'72 front factory disc brake assemblies versus those from the 73-87(?)? Why can't one use the '73-'87 assemblies?

Once again, sorry if this has been hashed throught many times ... and sorry if my main question is blatantly obvious to everyone else.

Thanks,
Dave
