Mine is a 69 3/4 ton. Went to the junk yard and got spindles from a 73 3/4 ton for $15ea. Had them blasted and powder coated $50. Got new aftermarket rotors $50 ea and 2 reman calipers $35 ea. New hoses $35 ea. and got the brake line conversion kit which is incomplete no matter where you buy it. Made my own missing piece. Better than any kit unless you need dropped spindles!

Note the spindles are the same from 71-79 I believe. I did new ball joints at that point. They are diffrent than for drum brakes anyway.

NOBODY sells a 3/4 ton conversion!
