Hey, kinda new and not the best navigator. I'm sure this has been asked before, but since I have an 8 1/4 rear with the larger bolt pattern and the factory 10" front brakes with the small bolt pattern, what is the easiest way to convert the front so the two will share the same pattern? I have a salvage yard close by with a plethora of late 60's early 70's fourdoor B bodies and C bodies, but no a bodies. They also have plenty of volares and aspens. I also have the old drums off of my 71 roadrunner from when I upgraded to disc, and I dont mind front drums on my scamp in the mean time as long as I have a uniform bolt pattern. Thanks.
 
The easiest way is to grab the entire front suspension for a 73+ Abody (k frame and steering linkage and prop valve as well). Check your local Craigslist, junkyard, and on this site. If your going to do the work to convert to bbp, why do it twice?
