lacombe620 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I got a front in off a king cab with disc breaks, looking to swap out the drums on my 1973 for the better stopping power. Anyone done this, looking to change all the arms so that I have all the right holes to mount the hubs. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Your suspension will be not be alignable. You will eat tires. You cannot install Late model 620 disc brakes on the early 620s. It physically bolts on, just doesnt work. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Corrected the spelling in the title so that the search engine doesn't skip over a broken truck. Also added '73 620 to narrow it down. Text is what it is, I ain't yer mom. Quote Link to comment
2wheel-lee Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 If you have the front half of the frame... Do you have a good welder? Are you a good welder? Yeah, he's in a good position with that front part of the frame. He could either just cut it off and weld in the newer one as it was, or if it were me, I'd add a little Z in it to add more drop.
