Ordered a complete set from Cass at Dr Diiff for my 72 rear drum Duster. Timken bearings, braces, gaskets etc.

Hope this helps

Hey Don, My pleasure. I didn't realize you were local either LOL! Will definitely try to meet up at one of the area cruise nights this season. Always look forward to meeting fellow FABO members. Disclaimer - my Hooptie looks OK from about 50 feet...but she's my Hooptie! Be well, Pat

Good morning, Kit =Wilwood 11023 Didn't have to replace the control arms, any front end components. Just remove the drum brake assemblies down to the spindles and bolted the kit on. Was really impressed with the ease of the conversion. I did need to pick up a new disc/drum master cylinder...

I did a Wilwood conversion on my 72 Duster from10" drums. Super easy, direct bolt on. Didn't have to change a thing. Kept stock spindles and everything else. Really easy, straight forward conversion. And she stops great now! Don't recall the kit # but can find it if you're interested. Be...

Best $36 I spent on my Duster. Really no down side other than a few added lbs. Pat

Well done man! Nice work. Pat

Looks good. Pat

Yep! Did mine for $36 in steel and a steel cutting blade for my circular saw. Money well spent IMO. Pat

A drain perhaps?

Yep. 11ga = 1/8" 1.5"×3" Pat

Thanks Dartfreak!

Thanks all for the quick replies. I appreciate it! And Karl, thanks for the precise answer. I'm sure that description will help me with my search! LOL! Pat

Hey Folks, Pulled the old front drums off the Duster in preparation for the Wilwood disc conversion. Noticed this bashed up rubber piece that will need replacing, but don't know what it's called? Thanks in advance! Pat

New shocks? Just a thought. Pat

Ditto Bad Sport. Fabbed a set of subframe connectors for the Duster, $36 in material. Noticed a marked improvement when driving around. I have a pretty large curb at the end of my drive that caused the old girl to groan and squeak, the connectors fixed that! Pat

Hey UDUST81, Just because something is made overseas, and less expensive, doesn't mean it's crap. Heck, most of the stuff in our cars, appliances etc is sourced abroad. Being on a tight budget myself, I keep all my options open. I'm looking forward to seeing how that steering box works for you...

x2 on Denny's post. I went with 3" x 1.5" laid on it's side. Easy peazy & $36. That said, once you get your set installed, I'm sure it'll be awesome Graminizer. Looking forward to following your build! Pat

Can't help with your air shock question. But wonder if it my be easier to add slightly longer shackles? Just a thought... Be well, Pat

Looks Good! Pat

1.5"×3" worked great on my Duster. No fuss no muss. Pat

Ditto, but I opted for 1.5" × 3". Went in easy without cutting floor. I snugged it up tight to the floor. Pat

I do not believe that's a thing! LOL

That's a thing of beauty! Congrats!

X2. I referenced a few posts here at FABO and managed to fabricate a set for $36. Bought some 1.5"×3" tubing. Used a circular saw w metal cutting blade, a lot a measuring, trimming and test fitting. But mangaged to get them fabbed and welded in on an afternoon. Note: I have minimal experience...

Nice article. Thanks for sharing longarm. Pat

Assuming weld in sub-frame connectors are in order as well? Pat

Thank you both for the replies & info. Haven't plug welded metal this thick (1/8"), so just thought I'd ask folks with a bit more experience. I'll do a quick test on some scrap. Thanks again for giving me something to start with fellas. Pat

Hey Folks, We are going to be welding our sub-frame connectors into the Duster and I'm wondering if anyone could recommend the diameter of hole to drill for plug welds. Will be drilling a few holes where the connector overlays the rear frame rails. Thanks in advance! Pat & Kids

Ink, I could care less what you put in it man. Cool builds are cool builds...and I'm guessing your's is gonna be just that. Start that thread! Take Care, Pat
