3/4 Ton Disc Brake Conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone convert to front disc brakes on their 64-66 3/4 Ton? I have heard that the rotors and the spindles from the 73-87 style is supposed to just bolt right into place with no problems. Does this seem like a myth, or can it be done?

Thanks,
benny_d

not a myth, but you will also need tie rods, center link, ball joints and stuff from that year truck.... or just swap the entire front crossmember
