Re: Disc Brake Upgrade Reference Thread

No it is not easier to install a '60-'66 cab onto a '73-'87 frame BTDT. It is one heck of a lot of work and due to the differences on the '73-'87 frame you end up with a 3" body lift. Then you have the possible legal problems with the frame and cab VIN's not matching.

A power disc brake and power steering upgrade can easily be done in a weekend.
