Well....
Everything went fairley good....Except:
The Upper Ball Joint on the Drivers side fought back bad!
What you DON'T see is the 7 foot Steel Pipe on the end of the 3/4 Drive Breaker Bar!

Hi Bruce, thanks for your post! I was wondering if you had any issues with your stock sway bars contacting the '73 disk brake set-up. I was under the impression that it was necessary to use a rear mounted caliper bracket set-up when using the stock '67-'72 sway bar/lower control arms.
