    im updating my 66 with 5 lug front disc. the front end i bought is gonna need to be rebuilt, and im wondering if a kit is made to do this. im looking for a kit with bushings, ball joints, that kind of deal. also i have a '72 12 bolt posi rear with 373 gears on hold. will i have any crazy surprises when i go to bolt that up? my neighbor says that i cant use my lower control arms, and that the new rear end will be bolted to the frame.

    thanks

    I would pick up all the front end rebuld stuff right here at Chevy Duty. I'm not aware of front end rebuild "kits", like they produce for Chevelle's and such, for our trucks.

    On the 72 rear? Tell your neighbor to stop working around solvents. The 72 rear will bolt right in. While you are back there think about replacing the bushings in the rear control arms and panhard bar as well.
