Re: Disc Brake Upgrade Reference Thread

No the front crossmember is not wider. As far as I know the increased width is in the spindle and rotor dimensions.

As for the upper and lower control arms, you can use either. If you use your originals, you will have to change the ball joints. I prefer to use the '73-'87 control arms with the rubber bushings. Yes you will need the mastercylinder and the proportioning valve from the donor. Yes my power steering adapter plate and booster bracket will work on your truck. However, the '73-'87 booster is not compatable with the '73-'87 booster. You will have to use one of the boosters listed in the for sale thread.
