lambert,
lolife is THE answer man on swapping out front end components, to convert to disc. I have a lot of knowledge, but lolife has it ALL!!! It CAN get confusing, there's many ways to make this happen.

I plan to convert my 67 and 68, both using all 71-72 parts, the simplest way to do it. At can be done, the center link is the only that needs to be bought used. (I think?, lolife?)

I like the 72 and earlier control arms best, they are greaseable, 73-up and not. BUT the 73 up tie rod ends are larger in size and heavier duty. I have parts to convert mine using 73 up tie rod ends and 72 and earlier control arms, but have decided to go ALL 71-72, for simplicity sake...

I buy ONLY Moog parts when buying new components.
