Classic Performance Products supposedly has a disc brake kit for 3/4 ton trucks (63-70) but it converts it to either 5 or 6 lug rotors.

I,ve never done it so I can,t say for shure but the A-arms & spindles from a 71-72 3/4 ton seems to me would fit. They all had disc brakes.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Hy guys, I agree with Wrenchbender Ret. 71-72 3/4 ton stuff should work, however I believe the lower ball joint for disc brakes has a longer stud, check with your parts supplier, they do fit into the control arm, they have a longer stud because the spindle is thicker, hope that helps.
