I am trying to put disc brakes on my '68 chevy truck using the spindles, hubs, and calipers off a 1971 chevy. Has anyone have any experience with or know what I need to get this accomplished? SO far it looks as though the ball joints will need to be changed along with the outer tierod ends. Will 1971 ball joints and tie rod ends work with the 1968 a-arms and inner tierods? I have heard of people doing this, but I am unable to locate a post here or many other sites. Thanks for any and all help.

Here's a link for 60-65 conversion, but there is a lot of information in the thread and should answer your questions;

Well it is looking like all i need is the ball joints and outer tierod ends. LMC is listing the a-arms as the same from '67 to '72. So tomorrow the new ball joints and tierod ends will be in. I will soon know!

I put 72 chevy pickup dis brakes on a 69 chevy and that was all I did was change the ball joints and tie rod ends, It was prety simple. Later on I put the power brake unit on too.

I did this with my 67. Lower control arms almost but not the same from 67-72. The steering stop is different on 71-72. I swapped everything including the lower controll arms. The 67 lower a arm would have given me reduced steering radius without modification to the stop.
