Disc brake conversion on my 67

[Canuckvetter]

Hey fellas, I’m going to do a disc brake upgrade on my 67. I have spindles and calipers from a 71 as well as the disc/drum proportioning valve. I bought 6 bolt rotors. The 67 is bone stock. Will everything just bolt up? I have heard that the ball joints and tie rod end may be different. Any insite would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael

That thread needs to be a sticky. It has invaluable information in it for converting the front end. I have visited it at least 5 times and have gleaned more information from it each time. I now think I have all necessary information & parts to get the cross member installed without a lot of the little things I didn't know that I didn't know. Ya' know?

It is a sticky. Check the suspension forum...

Just a heads up for the newer members (And maybe some older ones too):

If you scroll down to the bottom of this page you will see the "Forum Jump" box. Click on the little down arrow on the right side of the box and it will display all of the different forums on the board.(there are a lot of them) Scroll down until you find the one you are looking for, or one that sounds interesting and click on it. It will take you to that forum. The suspension forum is about half way down. The forum jump box should be visible at the bottom of any forum page.

Thanks LockDoc. I will order the proper spindles tomorrow. Everything else should fall into place.

Merry Christmas
