Change 1967 Chevy from drum to disk brakes and from assist to power steering. What years will work?

I have a 1967 chevy c20 2wd heavy 3/4 ton pickup truck. It has 4 wheel drum brakes and power assist steering from the factory. I want to change the front drum brakes to disk, and change the power assist steering to true power steering. I have access to a 1995 Chevy 1 ton truck for parts. I plan on using all of the steering linkage, p.s. pump, control arms, gearbox, spindles, steering shaft, brake booster, and all brake materials from the 1995 to retrofit the 1967. I know you can accomplish this interchange with Chevy trucks up to 1987, but I don%26#039;t know if the newer body styles will also interchange. Any info would be greatly appreciated!|||i did a 69 chevy 1/2 change over of brakes and steering from a 72 and i know they worked just fine. had to change a-arms and install new balljoints, not to hard to do. that gave me disc%26#039;s and the steering upgrade for full power, not power assist steering. there should be interchange books around, sorry i dont know of any sites that might help. good luck. 67%26#039;s-71%26#039;s were the best trucks.|||Well I hope you know how to weld, make parts and have access to a mechanine shop, cause that is what it is gonna take.


You will have to build most of it from scrach. It is not as easy as just swaping parts.


The best advice I can give you is don%26#039;t do it.


If you still want to do the job, then go to a junk yard and borrow there parts interchange book.


This book tell you what parts will and wont interchange with what you want to do.|||Check out: www.hemmingsmotornews.com


They have brake conversion kits for 1967 Chevy%26#039;s. Also, For some real stopping power, install 1967-1969 Corvette brakes and P/S unit.
