mcordero8 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I was out at our local junkyard this week and found a 78 620 with disc brakes. I was just wondering if I can replace the drums on my 73 620 with these disc brakes? Anyone know? Link to comment
isomswim Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Can it be done? Yes Is it "easy"? Not really Front suspension for your truck is king pin and the "newer" models are balljoint. It can be done and there are some kits out there or just switch the whole front suspension out. More folks will chime in surely Link to comment
kevins750 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I believe I read they don't swap over.. Link to comment
ddrum Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 No they won't, you need to buy a bracket to convert to disk brakes Link to comment

GRpufnstuf Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 A bracket or custom upper control arms. Look into Beebani and Mklotz (bluehandsinc.com) in here There are many discussions about this in the "Brakes" section of the home page Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 There's a question that has never been asked before. Not until you made 2 threads about it. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Made within a minute of eash other. Probably a hand held POS. Imerged the two posts to keep all the answers together. I was out at our local junkyard this week and found a 78 620 with disc brakes. I was just wondering if I can replace the drums on my 73 620 with these disc brakes? Anyone know? . This is the second most commonly asked question and covered dozens of times. There are several ways and many methods using several disc brake designs. It would take 20 pages to cover it all and only you know what you want. mcordero8... type Disc Brakes on 620 into the search function upper right of every page and start reading. Research is your friend.. do your homework and see you tomorrow night if you have any questions.. Link to comment
