I wanted front disc brakes for my '68, but I couldn't find any 1 ton kits out there, just 1/2 and 3/4. But also one of my control arms actually is rotten I found out (one of the reasons it didn't pass inspection). So I have had much trouble finding a replacement 1 ton control arm, but what I did find out is that you can swap the whole front end from a '73 to '87 into your '67 to '72. So besides getting updated easier to find suspension components, if you have an early truck like mine, you will also get the disc brakes too. The trick is to get the crossmember up front so everything bolts up easy. My master cylinder leaks anyway so I had to replace it so they said to order one for the front discs and rear drums. Best part is over the weekend, I did some junkyard hunting and found a 1 ton '74 with the whole front suspension left in primo condition, barely any rust which is crazy for NY and the controls arms are only $12 each! Everything else can be gotten new at autozone like discs, pads, and I supose ball joints too. Has anyone tried this or heard other stuff? I found out quite a few people are doing it and if you get a complete front end, it is entirely bolt in. I can't remember if this was ever discussed on the BB, the search turned up nada for me so I thought I'd let you all know that others say it can be done fairly easy so I am going to try it as soon as I gather up the rest of the parts.
