Since you linked parts to fit a 1968 truck, and yours is a 1968... I'd have to say... yes?

Except those are 5 lug rotors.

Your booster should work, but you will need a master cylinder for disc/drum.

Thank you, I just bought new six lugs rims so I don't mind. I just wanted to make sure there was not some part missing that I would have to buy later. Thank you for looking for me and letting me know.

you might want to call and verify that those inner and outer tie rods will work with your 68 centerlink.

Re: Will this kit work for my 68?

If you are going to stay with a 6-lug wheel but are going to disc brakes then you need to buy a kit that is specifically designed with that in mind, they are out there so you can get it done for sure, just make sure that's what you are buying from the jump and you won't have any compatibility issues with your current set up.

Re: Will this kit work for my 68?

it looks like the kit hes inquiring about is a 6 lug rotor kit. also ask of the brakes will work with your drum brake lines and if youll need to swap to a newer or universal prop valve
