Late model brakes for my '67 C20
Maybe it's my inexperience with this site but I can't seem to get the search to work for looking up this subject in previous posts.
So here's the question: What year, model components would be best to use for converting to front disc brakes? Money is an object at this time so what's the most economical route? OR...........is there a later model chassis that I could roll under my body without too much modification. I am still in the "mental" stages of planning for my truck, so ALL advice and suggestions will be appreciated and considered. Thanks in advance! CrashBob

Re: Late model brakes for my '67 C20
you could find a front end out of 73 -81 aframes rotors calipers. bolt all this in the place of your drum brakes what i found out is the ball joints are a different size where they go in the spindle 67-70 same 71-72 same then 73-81 same the 67-72 also have the 55$pc a frame bushings 73 up 5$ but then what do i know i could be wrong .

I think I understand everything except what is 55$pa a frame? The 73-81 will just bolt up then, that's good to know.
Thanks

Actually, you should only need to boneyard you a set of spindles and brake calipers. Then when you get your new ball joints, just get them for the year of truck that the spindles came off of.

Re: Late model brakes for my '67 C20
Isn't there supposed to be a proportioning valve somewhere in the mix? Also, will my current mastercylinder and booster work?
So many questions...........so few answers
