It is probably easiest to just swap the whole front axle beam from a
68-1/2+. You must upgrade to a late MC, tandem recommended. I think
the 4 wheel drum brake cars have a simplex MC which has a residual
pressure valve which is not compatable with disk brakes. The late MC
works with either disks or drums.
