    Hello. I was wondering what all I would need to convert my front drums to disks with no donor car. Aka all the junk yards around me only have 80s or newer. Thanks in advance for the help

    When you have no donor car, http://discbrakeswap.com/ is your friend. If you have more money that time I suggest you order a complete kit. If you have more time than money, get all you can at a local auto parts store and just order the rest. I did it that way and I got a good deal for the discs, calipers, pads, bearings, and hoses at O'reilly's. The rest is pretty much the spindles and caliper brackets unless I am forgetting something, probably!

    Which kit did you pick from? The ones showing up for me the latest is a 69. Will that fit?

    No, I said that I bought all I could at a local auto parts store (oreillys) and only ordered the rest from the website. But if you are considering a kit any will fit
