Default Re: Disk Brake Conversion

I know this isn't staying in line with the conversation completely, but I just did a front disk swap In my 65 3/4 ton. Basically i only spent around $200 for the entire swap by finding some 8 lug 84' C20 disk brakes from the junk yard. Surprisingly, the 84' ball joints are the exact same size as the 65' ball joints as far as fitting into the control arms. Only the shaft that fits in to the brakes is slightly different. And that's it. I got the brakes, cleaned them up, installed the 84' ball joints and put it back together. I still have 8 lug all around the truck and now have some seriously beefy disks on the front now. I have a daughter I need to keep safe as well so I get were your coming from. I also understand that having a child can hinder finances a bit too. So maybe this is something that can help you out a bit.
