If it is a later model front end though, you can convert it this way, but you would just substitute the Dana 44 8 lug hubs and rotors (or since the Chevy and Ford 3/4T bolt patterns are the same, go with all Chev in the front, no one will ever know). You should still be able to use the 15" wheels, possibly with a little grinding on the caliper and caliper mounting depending on the style of wheel you're using. >> John, Thanks for the information and write up. I saved it in a file in case I decided to go that way.

Most autoparts stores have an assortment of straight galvanized tubes with pre flared ends. This is what I used (along with some creativity) to replace mine. With a bender and some flaring tools and you can have some darned nice looking custom lines. Most of the generic lines come with a male flare fitting on each end. If you need a female, save the originals and reuse them on the new line. I've got my new lines run above the passenger side frame rail instead of under the engine. It gets em outa harms way, looks a bit tricker, and gave me a place to mount a sender block for my tranny temp & pressure gauges. Ive also got a cooler plumbed in. It's the only thing using rubber tubing to make the connection (1 1/2" of rubber tube per line). I could send some pics if your interested, and yes, you can probably tell Im proud of it too! Wasn't hard at all to do, relaxing in a way. In fact, I had so much fun on the tranny lines, I went to the fuel and some of the larger vacuum lines! Anyway. Enough rambling. George in Fl. ------------------------------ From: "Tim Neasham" Subject: Microfiche, etc... Date: Fri, 19 May 2000 22:16:27 -0700 I've given up hope finding a set for my '69. But I was wondering if anyone knows if they make a CD for the older rigs? I know you can get the diagrams on CD for the newer stuff, but what about the better, er, I mean older stuff? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
