I have a complete disc brake front suspension still on a 72 C20. It will be a complete take out. $200. Located in Central Iowa.

Great as a swap for the 60-66 C20 trucks too

Hmm, thats a really great idea I had never thought of. I always thought when I saw those for sale ... Why would anyone want that? Now I know!

Yup, it's the same principal as the 5 lug swap for the half tons, but for those who want to keep it 8 lug. If I ever get the chance to build a 63 C20 or C30, I'll be doing a disc swap.
When going on the 60-66s, the whole crossmember needs swapped since the lower control arm shafts are different and don't use U bolts like the later models.

Thanks for the good info guys. Hopefully someone can use the stuff. Sway bar is already gone but the buyer will get the complete front suspension.
