School me on swapping 6 to 5 lug, lowering and converting to power brakes all at once
Ok I have a 68 short bed and I want to do a 4/6 drop on it, rebuild the front suspension, and convert to power brakes all in one shot. First let me tell you what I have.
I have: -'72 5-lug front suspension -'72 5-lug rear -power brake booster from the '72 -cab and pedal assembly from '72 My questions: Is it easiest and cheapest to use the '72 front end to convert to 5 lug/disk brakes/and lower it? What modifications am I going to need to install the power brake setup? Should I go ahead and do the rear disks now or is that something I can do later down the road if I want without too much hassle? What are some things I need to consider before doing this? I have read something where the rear tires do not sit in the fender correctly? Are there any other need to know things like this? I have looked into the ECE 4/6 drop, any other suggestions? Suggestions on brand/kit for the front end rebuild? |
