Have any of you boys and girls. (I assume there are girls on here too) put disk brakes of some sort on the front a 67 one-ton. If so how was it done.
Thanks

I converted my 68 chassis (same as yours) to discs using a complete front crossmember swap from a 72 model dually. You can use any donor from 71 up through 87 though.

Shanes Chevys used the front suspension from an 89 dually on is 69 one ton. It has the hydostatic breaks and it stops really well.

71/72 will pretty much be a direct bolt in... maybe some mods to run the brake lines... later cross members are almost a bolt in... I think there's a couple holes that need egged out a little.
Something to keep in mine, on the 67 - 70, the wheel studs were 1/2 inch, in 71 they went to 9/16, so you'll need a couple wheels, which moving to 16 inch rims will save you money next time you need tires too.

Thanks guys
so I guess if i want to run 3.73 gears in the rear and disc brakes on the front I need to be looking for a 74 and up donor truck....

Happy Hunting
