]2eDeYe Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 This can be done with custom components, some of which are offered products by members here. It is in now way a bolt on affair. Quote Link to comment
tavilas Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 So you think it is possible ? How about parts of an 88 perhaps I want to convert front drum breaks to disc breaks I got a friend that is sailing the 88 hardbody and I though I could do the convention from it Quote Link to comment
'70dime Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Anything is possible, the question is do you have the skills, time, tools, and money to complete the project? Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 You can use the parts from the '88 to convert your truck over to ball joints which will give you instant disc brakes. You will have to either buy my conversion upper control arms to correct the camber/caster issue that you will have or you can build your own. My upper arms (do a search) will allow you to basically bolt everything on. You will also have to upgrade your master cylinder and either redo all your hardlines or get an SAE to metric adapter as the hardbody caliper hoses are metric and your hard lines are SAE. --you can have your spoon back now... :sneaky: Quote Link to comment

That will sink! hopefully he's sailing it in fresh water so he won't ruin the parts you want to use. Quote Link to comment
