Grigg and OldSub, Sorry about the sloooow answer time but I sometimes go a few days with no tech.
Grigg, thanks for asking an obvious question that I had overlooked. I assumed that there was something computer related about the spindles or calipers (front 2wd).
OldSub, I think you recommended just unbolting the front cross member and bolting up the newer one with disk brakes. I looked at my frame today and understand the unbolting part. I haven't gotten close enough to a disk brake-designed one to see if they match. But that is what you were saying, right? I did download the image of your 72 IFS and enlarged it as much as I could and it looks like a match.
BTW I've been reading both you guys for quite awhile. I appreciate everything I've learned.
Dave.
