The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk front axle swap on a 4x4. (need a little help)

i am going to start applying the 78 gmc front axle i have to the 63 gmc.

i have the complete truck outback i would like to switch the front springs to the 78. mine are sagging bad. i heard from good source, well i think so that it is going to be vary hard to do this with the wider springs. i need more advice on this.

i am going to add power steering and disc brakes. my truck is a k20 manual. i need to add the slave cylinder. what did you fellas use for yours?

i am going to use the tilt steering column, shaft, pump and gear box. will i need the box bracket if i have the column from the 78 as well?

how hard will it be to use the 78 booster and master cylinder?

thanks ahead of time josh

shouldnt be a problem just use the mounting brackets for the wide springs

well the springs are longer that is the problem. i think i have decided so far on the info i have got that i will purchase new springs.

i am really interested in knowing about the clutch master cylinder though.

if you change the brackets you can put them where you need them

the trans crossmeber is preventing a proper placement. i am just going to get new springs for the front.

i need help with from someone that has done this already for specifics on brake lines and prop. vbalve placement, clutch and brake master cyl. placement.

any one have any insight?
