Finally doing my disc brake swap
About 15 years ago I bought new ball joints for a 75 c 10 front end. Well I finally used them.
I swapped out my old ball joints to the newer ones so I could put on some spindles that I have had for about the same amount of time. They are stock height that I didn't use on my other truck. So I am using my 65 control arms with the later model spindles. I will be documenting as I go. I bought the tie rod sleeves that gives you two different sizes. I am just waiting for my new tie rod ends. One picture is of my old ball joints. I can't believe they were in such good condition. The uppers were still riveted on which leads me to believe they were factory. I am using a brake booster off of a 1974 chevy truck. I will need to lengthen the brake rod a bit. If anyone dose this I say just get Capt Fab's bracket. It will be easier. I already went this route so I am just going with it. I also ordered new rotors and calipers. I am not going to use these rusty worn out parts.
