disc swap on 68 2wd

what is the easiest way to convert to disc and 5 lug on a 68 2wd. Can you swap ball joints and use 73up spindles and brake components? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, swap the ball joints(go for the yr of the spindle), & you can bolt the later spindles on. You need to also grab the steer linkage(inneres outers & sleeves on the tie rods, & the center link). note that the 73 up lower b Joints will press into the 68 lower arms, but you will need to grind the steer stops on the spindles to correct the steering radius. Good luck,crazyL
