72 disc front, rim\tire\drop question

[olivj]

New MiSSiSSippi guy with a 72 swb custom with front Disc brakes.

I have seen a few threads about the Boss 338 wheels not working with front disc brakes. I was wondering if they were just having issues with after markets disc packages or with OEM stuff as well. I already have front disc and would really like to not incur the extra cost to convert hubs and rotors to accomplish the same thing. I have also seen alot of people with 68,69,70 but I havent seen many with the setup on a 72 and I dont know if they are not having the issues to post about or not many people are running this setup of a 72......anyway heres what Im thinking. You guys put me back in line and set me straight if I am dreaming to big here.

I am trying to sort out what I want to do as far as drop and wheels and tires. I have PM'd several people with no response.

Heres the look that I like

Patina'd\solid\driver, I dont wanna worry about scratching it. i want to drive it to work everynow and then. Might even throw a weathered shop logo on the door.

4\6 drop static(not really looking to notch though if possible)
-Looking for some suggestions on kits and pricing.
I really like the look of the coy and boss 338's. Wanting to go with 20's all the way around and have no idea what tire size to run.
-Looking for suggestions on tire size as well. I dont want bologna skin tires but I am not looking to go offroading either. something that has a descent ride that will not bend my wheels if I hit a pothole or drive down a gravel road.

This site is a wealth of infinite knowledge just sometimes it is a little bit rough to take it all in. I am considering starting a build thread just havent done to much yet to really brag about. Keep in mind that I am also attempting to build on a budget as many of us are. Love the hobby but the wife\wallet tells me "NO" alot more often then I would like. I have settled on alot of past projects because of money\time so this time I am going to try and take my time and methodically think out things before I jump and make a bad call, then get disappointed and sell. Enough of my rambling. I have some pics as well of the truck from when I bought it about a month ago.


THANKS IN ADVANCE, Jeremy
