69 Disc brake conversion questions

[sunk99]

Converting my 69 to front disc brakes and have a few questions. Do I need to change my brake lines to the front of the cross member from the rear? It was factory power brakes so do I need to change my master cylinder or prop valve and if so should I use 71-72 parts or later model parts? Thanks in advance.

You need to change the M/C and prop valve to a disc brake version.
71-72 parts here would be a direct bolt on.

There is no need to re-route the brake line.
You can buy direct bolt-on 63-70 standard spindles and drop spindles.

You will need to bend up a couple hard lines from the prop valve down to the crossmember.

Have you bought any parts for the conversion yet?

I ordered my conversion from way2low2 and it is a Mcgauhy's kit but is only for the spindles out. So I will need to run new hard lines for the front brakes?

What size lines do I need to run from the prop.valve to the hose?

Your original line to the front hoses will work.
You just need a new line from the M/C to the tee on the crossmember.
It's either 3/16" or 1/4".
