Hello,

I need help make a parts list for a 1970 k20 front disk conversion.

Here is what my truck has:

1970 K20 (only year front drums and open knuckles...I think)
Front Dana 44 open knuckle (first year open knuckle)
Front Drums (last year front drums)
Big Spindles for the external locking hubs.
8 lug hubs for the external locking hubs.
Manual brakes

List of what I think I need:

New brake hoses
Calipers
Caliper bracket set (I have a set front a 71 k20)
Brake booster (heard its not ideal to run disks with manual brake)
Rotors.
Pads.

Am I missing anything? I know I am probably missing bearings seals too. Could someone please list those too.

I am going to try this conversion but it's a daily driver and need to obtain all the parts before I tear the truck down and put it back together over a weekend.
