What all will work for a 1968-69 Torino drum to disc conversion?
Is there an easy/cheap manual to power steering conversion? Thanks. |

my 69 GT has stock front disk brakes. You should be able to purchase the calipers, pads, and rotors from NAPA right off the shelf for a '68 or '69 .... the spindle I am not sure about and you may need to scout out ebay or junk yards for a backing plate and caliper bracket ..... any 68 /69 torino, ranchero, or fairlane with factory front disc brakes should have the parts you need..... hope this helps.

^^^ that last one looks like an awesome kit, the calipers look to be C3 vette style 4 piston, those would be a major upgrade for front drums BTW i hate front drums, my chev c/10 pick up had front drums manual, what a joke! i did the oem parts conversion, best thing i ever did!
