For a '67, get '73-'74 spindles. They're a direct drop in swap using your existing I-beams, although you might have to grind a little off the bump stop to get full turning radius. '75+ will require you to get the I-beams too because the king pins are a different length and diameter and won't fit your '67 I-beams.

Sweet! Definitely need to know what king pin diameter and length are required for those. They also have complete kits for $600. http://www.classicperform.com/Store/Bra ... WBK-FT.htm. Those include everything including king pins and hoses. Would have to call and verify fit, however listed as 65-72 they should be correct. You'd spend that much anyway buying the individual parts. They also have booster/MC assemblies which include the brackets and prop valve for $329 which is not a bad price.

Truck is making me upset like usual.
I cant seem to get the drum back on. My little brother is coming over to help me lol.
Also bringing a brake bleeder.

Im gonna return the booster I got at a local auto store because I stopped at a auto recycler aka junk yard the other day and they had an early 70's I believe F250 with front discs. When they call me today, ill get a quote on the whole front end. I read the tech article here and it seems like more of a pita and more work but will b worth it I think. I don't know if I need the whole front end but wth.
