A ? for experts and/or those who have done this before. Can you interchange drum spindles with disc spindles ? Will the upper and lower control arms on a pre disc truck mate with a disc spindle ? I personally have not done this yet but it would be a "headache" to break loose 4 upper and lower c. arms and THEN find out these parts are not interchangeable. Yea or ney ?

As long as you change ball joints, you can use the same a-arms. Depending on which disc brake spindles you use, you might have to change outer tie rod ends. Look at Early Classic Enterprises spindle selection for the easiest way to change to disc brakes.
