Gathering parts for front disc brakes for 1969
I have a 1969 C-10 with manual stock drum brakes. I have purchased front stock height spindles, rotors, calipers, hoses, and rear drum brakes from a 1971 C-10.
This is what I've been reading for some good info: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=444823 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=823192 I plan to keep: 1969 crossmember, center link, A-arms 1969 differential I plan to get: upper and lower ball joints for 1971-72 new brake hard lines for 1971-72 front brake hose mounting tabs for 1971-72 master cylinder and combination valve for 1971-72 5-lug axle for the differential I have a question about tie rods. Do I get the outer part of the tie rods for 1971-72, and it will replace the outer part of the tie rods I have now? Is there anything to look out for when choosing the part? Other things I will need to get ready? What sort of shop would I look for in the Houston area for re-drilling the rear axles for 5-lug, or should I consider that re-drilling as an option? It is just better to get prepared axles? |
