1967 Front disc conversion pics request

I did some searching and can't find what I'm looking for http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ake+conversion

I have a 1967 C10, I took parts from a 72 years ago and I don't have the truck or pics to answer my question so....

I am going to add front disc brake setup from a 72, I bought new stainless steel pre-bent lines for a 72. I believe the 72 lines are suppose to run across the front of the crossmember? My 67 had them running across the back of the crossmember. Does anyone have good pics of this and where the steel lines bolt to the rubber lines that go to the calibers?

I am going to be sending my frame out for powder coating so I need to know if I should relocate the bracket that holds the rubber hoses. Here are pics of what I have now.

Thanks, Nate

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...nt+brake+lines

Does any one have better pics of how the lines run?

Can anyone confirm that the location of the bracket holding the rubber line is for a 72?

Yes.
71-72 trucks had the bracket on the front side of the crossmember.
You could have just ordered the 67-70 steel lines,... to make your life easier.

What parts are you using off the '72?
Did you get all the steering linkage?
Are you adding drop spindles?
What's your plan?

I already have new stainless lines for a 72.

I have all the steering linkage including the steering box. The upper and lower control arms. I just sold the drop spindles I had. I bought new tie rod sleeves from CPP for a 72.

I am going to run 2" dropped springs and 2" dropped modular spindles. I am thinking about buying Porterbuilt upper and lower arms made to push the tires forward 1".

I do plan on replacing the inner and outer tie rods with new ones.
