3/4 ton front disk brakes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

REPO1 · 04-01-2002, 08:16 AM

Just want to carify something. If I want to convert to disk brakes on my '70 3/4 ton, I understand that I can find spindles/rotors/calipers off of a '73-'87 3/4 ton? I also understand that I will need the newer ball joints as well.

But what I am not sure of, is can I use my original control arms? Or do I need the newer ones of those also? Will the disk setup work with my manual brakes, until I can do that swap? Will a new style booster/cylinder work on our trucks also?

Thanks!!!
