Front Cross Member swap? what years
What years of chevy trucks will swap over for the 67-70 Disc brake conversions.
I have heard up to 87. Are the Vans both Chevy and GMC also included in this "able to swap" list. Have a line on a van that I can use the body for storage and front cross member fore Disc brakes if it works out. Thanks, Thomas

Re: Front Cross Member swap? what years
I, personally, have done the front swap with crossmember from a 1986 model truck, so I know the 73-87 stuff will work. I believe that the van stuff will work, but the rotors may be thicker (just keep in mind when getting parts). Do not quote me on the van though...

My 69 has the disc brakes from a96 Chevy van. I was not able to use the cross member not the sway bar because they were too wide. It was an easy swap.

Re: Front Cross Member swap? what years
I think you can go up to 87 with a pu or 91 with a sub. I'm using an 88 sub crossmember, brakes, and steering box. I had to redrill 4 holes in the sides of the frame. 2 were 1/2 a hole off and 2 were a 1/2 inch off. I bolted every thing up that would fit then drilled through the frame.
