    So, I found a junkyard that might have what I would need to swap in a disc brake conversion.:TU:
    I also want to add sway bars, front and back.:laugh:

    Can anybody tell me what vehicles,(and years), I should be looking for to pull these parts from?:Do No:

    '69-'72 GM A-Body car for the spindles, brackets, calipers, rotors, backing plates and proportioning valve.

    '70-'81 Trans Am or Z-28 for the larger 1 1/4" front sway bar.

    '64-'72 GM A-Body for the rear sway bar.

    Thanks for the info!:beer

    Will these just bolt in? Or is there a bit more tech involved?

    As long as you get the spindles, the front brake setup will bolt right in. Of course, you may end up consider new ball joints and control arm bushings while you have it all apart. Springs too possibly. There will likely be some brake line maneuvering involved to line things up.

    Front sway bars will bolt right in - get the brackets from the donor car.

    You will probably need to drill holes in and box your lower rear control arms to use a sway bar.

    Don't forget to take the brackets for the brake hoses that is bolted to the frame.
