Astro van disc brakes ?

am close to buying a 70 chevy 1/2 ton. I would like to put disc brakes on the front. I'm new to this but from what I've read I can put 73 up 1/2 discs on the front correct? what about a 87 chevy astro van? are they the same spindles & disc? thanks, Larry

Will the 73 and up work on a 67 as well?

Yes the 73-87 front suspension will fit on a 67, however, the 70+ trucks use a 5 lug bolt pattern whereas the 67-69 use 6 bolts

Oops. My bad. I don't know why I can never remember something that simple.
