there is a lot of talk Now days in the front end swaps I'm hearing you can just take off the old drum brakes and swap a set of upper and lower ball joints tie rods and brake hoses and spindles.No need to touch the A frame.Now others say different Lets put it to rest

I need all the detail of Why you can't

On 1962--67 nova's all you have to do is swap out the spindles Camaro's as well

There are a lof of us that have good straight no problem alinement front ends Tell us all why We must Change the A frame A arms is there a clearance problem .

Are the A Arms made different from a 1964--69 This has been a big question In why

If you have spec's on why the Drum front ends can't be converted to disc Just by using the Spindles and not touch the front A frame We all like to be tot a lesson.
