Re: Disk Brake Conversion
Drewski, I gather from what you laid out is that 3/4T trucks use the same ball joint sizes for the 60's through the 80's. This should help out some other folk who may be considering some kind of front-end swap for better brakes using disc up front.
In my own 1/2T experience, I found that basically everything on my 65 was smaller than what the 79 donor truck had. This includes ball joints, control arms, center drag link, and also the anti-sway setup that my 65 just happened to have as factory OEM.
I'm sure you will be happy with having disc brakes up front. I am very happy with mine.
