I just went out to the junkyard and picked up a crossmember from a 78, it is 5 lug, power steering and disc brakes for a lot less than a conversion kit, but i'm working on a tight budget... the crossmember bolted right in except for 2 bolt holes that had to be redrilled.

Rob, I would have bought that from you but I decided to go with a 5 lug setup. Did you buy your 5 lug setup from Classic Industries too?

PL,

I bought my setup from Stan @ ECE, he did me right. I ended up converting everything to 71-72 (tie rod ends/drag link/spindles), however you can buy spindles that work with the 71-71 rotors/calipers and with the 67-70 tie rods and drag links. I just wanted all to match. Sorry about bugging you again about the parts, I thought I had sent you a previous e-mail but wasn't sure. I may just use those parts on a the 70 Burb I just bought (factory 402 with rear air). Have a good weekend.

Rob
