question about converting front disc brakes on 67 c10

[nastynate]

just recently bought a 67 c10 with the front drum brakes. want to convert to front discs. have a set of 71/72 OEM front spindles. will they mount up to the 67 control arms properly? Just use 71/72 ball joints, tierod ends, rotors, hoses,calipers, right?

Yes I pressed some 71 balloints (top and bottom) into my control arms, and used the 71 steering assy. and added new tie rod ends also. Then used some braided hoses I got from...ECE I think, inline tube made them. They were conversion hoses, just over 100$. You could also get rubber oem style for cheaper. Good luck any ? Just ask. You also need a 71 MC and prop. valve..

Oh, ok. so the 67 manual steering assy. will not work with the 71 spindles?? Thanks alot for the help!!

You need a 71-72 centerlink too.

No I think you can buy conversion tierod ends somewhere..I may be wrong though

I just grabbed the whole steering assy.

If you do not use the 71-72 centerlink, you will need to use different inner tie rod ends.
