    Well, I've removed my spindles. To replace the king pins. And I also installing Scotties disc brake system on my 64 pickup.
    I think that I have all the parts needed for the front brakes, (well I'll need to buy some bolts etc)  And I'm going to replace the rear brake hose also.
    Hoping to have it all back together by the end of November.

    How's it coming along? I'm interested in doing a similar swap. Pics would be great!

    I'm not good at posting pictures. I've got the passenger side done. Doing the drivers side on Friday. And will also start to see what will be needed to install the master cylinder. Just a note. This disc brake conversion uses dodge Dakota rotors and calipers/ not the scarebird system.
