Front Suspension on a 69 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ncbiggj · 02-25-2004, 02:30 PM

Ok Im new here and will say"HELLO" first.. But I have a question.. I just picked up a 69 that is basically stock.. What i want to do is bag it and change the front over to disc. Will the 73-87 front a arms and all that just bolt right up? I have seen conversions but not sure if there is a easier way by just using stuff from the newer trucks. Plus it is cheaper to get..
Another thing is if I switch to disc up front will the same booster and all work? Because you would think that it would need to be a different ratio then drum. Thanks for all the help

Welcome from North Carolina. I am not sure if the 73-87 will bolt up. I know the 71 and 72 crossmember will bolt right in. Depending on your location I have a complete disc brake front end from a 72 for sale.
