Apologies if this is a rookie question - I'm still on the learning curve. Weekend Warrior.
Thanks in advance!

I have a 67 C20 which I converted to disc brakes. I used an 83 chevy for a donor. I used 83 spindles, ball joints, the whole tie rod (inner tie rod end, connector, and outer tie rod end), rotors, calipers, and brake hoses. You'll have to swap your trucks ball joints for the newer ones which fit right into the same holes.
