Question Will 72 C30 front disc brakes work on a 67 C20?

I have the opportunity to buy a 72 C30 parts truck with disc brake set up and was wondering if I would have a hard time to swap the disc set up to my 67 C20? What all is involved I guess is what I am asking.

if it is a single rear wheel type front end, then go for it.
If it is a daul rear wheel, then the hub/rotor isn't the same, and I'm not sure if the spindle would be the same size or not.

The conversion is the same as a normal half ton conversion, just bigger. You can swap the entire suspension, or just control arms and brake stuff just like you'd do on a smaller truck.

You'd just unbolt the whole front crossmember and bolt it right back on your 3/4 ton.


Should be cake.
