Thanks for the offer Jim but I'm in New Jersey and I think the shipping would kill me.

I don't want to go this deep into it, John. My car, albeit a darksider, is all original. No rust, no problems, nothing missing. I know the disc conversion won't be "original" but I'm looking at it from a safety stand point. Iwas never thrilled with the front drums and still have an issue with it to this day. Were all the original disc beams 4 lug? This would mean new rims for me also.
I think it's time to start looking in the yards.
