Pulling Disc Brakes from a 72 to install on 67

What parts do I need to take besides the spindels and rotors?

I would take the whole front crossmember. The drag link and everything are different, but the 67 link can be made to work with the right tie rod ends if that's not an option.

Have you considered doing a 73+ front crossmember swap? If I had it to do over again, I might have just gone up to that setup. The ball joints tie rod ends, etc are much less expensive.

you will need all the brake lines ( metal & rubber ) from the spindles to the master cylinder. the lines route differently on the disc brake trucks. get all the steering linkage, this will make the swap easier. you will have to change your lower ball joints( buy new ). when i done mine i swapped spindles & upper a-frames,steering linkage,all brake lines with brackets from a '72
