disk brakes

I have a 1970 suburban with drum brakes.I also have disk brake spindles off of a 1971, Is there any way to put them on my 1970 by changing ball joints ect?

you have to change ball joints and tie rods, and i think the center link.,........ www.classicperform.com sells a conversion adjuster sleeve tht lets you use the stock center link i think

I am in the process of putting the 71 spindles on my 69. I purchased 71 ball joints, and they fit right in the 69 a-arms no problem. The tie rods are a larger diameter on the 71, and the center link and adjusting sleeves are different.
