1968-1973 drum to disk swap

Post by JeffCobb1956 »

Hi folks. i'm currently doing the drum to disk brake swap on my 68 and pretty much have all needed front end parts that's needed from the 73 donor.
Mounting the passenger side brake line/hose bracket to the frame is not much of a hassle.
What about the driver side bracket? Do i really need to remove the P/S box and drill mounting holes for the bracket?
If anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to mount the driver side brk line/hose bracket to the frame is done would greatfully be appreciated. Jeff1968f100

No. You don't need to remove the PS box. Just find a place "forward" of the PS Box that will give you good clearance and reach for the brake line. (Forward as in toward the front of the truck).

Hopefully you have the 73+ brake line brackets, and hoses.
