Can't wait to see your next step brother
The main idea in doing this thread is to show guys they don't have to buy everything from the aftermarket. Think outside the box and build it yourself.
Wow John your really putting a strain on my old membrane! It's been a number of years since this was all done. The calipers were sourced through Autozone and I believe they're rebuilds by Cardone (sp). I had trouble getting the copper washers to seal when installing the hoses but luckly had extras and finally got them to stop weeping. Price on the calipers - ? It won't be the same now anyway. It wasn't too horrible or I wouldn't have done it as I'm a cheep bastard! I used my stock lower control arms which were already set up with the sway bar tabs, I just built new mounts for the new greaseable type bushings making sure the bar was located in the factory position. The upper control arms have to be swapped for the larger late model upper ball joint. The stock lower arms will bolt right up to the new lower ball joints. If your LCAs do not have sway bar tabs there are some manufacturers that provide them with your sway bar. You need to research that out. Remember the '72 and earlier sway bar is a different design than the '73 up bars so if looking for factory tabbed LCAs they need to be '72 or earlier. They all interchange.
