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 Thumbs Up 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!
