Re: '68 mod's

As far as the front suspension swap is concerned, you don't have to replace the crossmember. You can leave the motor in and swap just the A-arms and spindles from the aforementioned later model trucks. That's the way I did the swap on my 68, original crossmember with 76 model a-arms. In addition to the disc brakes, you also get a rubber-bushed suspension instead of the factory metal. Either way, the swap is really straightforward. You shouldn't have any trouble, but if you do this is THE place to find answers.

Welcome to the board!
