I finally did the disc brake swap

I did the swap on my truck finally I used spindles from a 72 model truck got ball joints for a 72 model and outer tie rods and rubber brake hoses. I used the tie rod adjuster from www.classicperform.com that uses the 70-model outer tie rod as your inner tie rod and a 72 outer as your outer.

In discussions on the board before people told me I would have to change out the hard lines on my truck so that they run on the front of the cross member that doesn't seem to be correct the hoses have plenty of length coming out the back.

I did run into one problem one of the rubber brake lines I ordered online had the wrong thread it was to big. I went to the local parts store and they don't carry the hose for that model truck so I asked if I could look at their inventory which consisted of about 500 hoses and the first one I grabbed looked like it would work but it was about 2" longer that the 72 model one I ordered online it was for a 69 to 71 nova and it works great.

It also seems the truck tires lean out at the top I'm thinking this might be caused by the lack of hood and fenders.

I'll post pictures later today to get your opinions
