Conversion Information ???

I have only been in 67-72 community for a few years now after being able to get my Grandpa's 70 Last year at 99 he passed so this truck like so so many others I've seen will be a labor of love. I know he'd smile knowing I'm going to make it my own. That being said... a few years back there was a gentleman that was selling a disc on eBay that had all kinds of information on it from disc brake conversions to relocating the gas tank. All of these conversions used stock parts from other year models.. Does anyone possibly have a copy of that disc or maybe another set of information similar to the one I described. I have looked many times for the disc to be listed again but I haven't come across it again. I thank you in advance for your help and I hope you all have a great day.

Re: Conversion Information ???

You don't need a disc. Search this site and you will find all the info you seek.

X2. You can buy aftermarket kits for disc brakes, or if you want to use factory parts (which a lot of these kits are, just repackaged) get the entire front clip from a square body truck from 73-80 from a junkyard. Be sure to grab the booster, brackets, brake lines, etc. You will then have everything you need and when you go to a parts house you won't have to wonder what year goes where, what center link, tie rod ends, ball joints, etc.

X3! I don't want to make any assumptions of the person who made the disc. It seems likely however that all he had to do was search a great forum like this and compile all that information onto something to sell someone.
