Upgrade on the way

I just got the parts to upgrade my 72's front drums to disc, YAHOO!!! Rotors, calipers, axle beams with spindles, control arms, proportion valve and master cylinder. I still have to get the minor things like brake hoses, lines, & a few wheel studs but I think I have everything I need. I'll probably replace the bushings while I'm at it, & possibly the king pins. I'll see how sloppy they are. Hopefully the weather will cooperate next weekend & I can at least get started on it, I'm really anxious to get this done.

You might as well change the king pins and bushings before installing. That way you won't have to take things apart again. It's a good upgrade.
