76 highboy front end

A 76 highboy has a close knuckle axle, with disc brakes. Correct? Any insight is awesome!

I may be wrong, but my research shows that Dana did not make any closed knuckle 44s with disc brakes, nor can they be converted to discs

that's what i was researching...figured if there was closed knuckle with discs from factory they must be able to swap over. Since there isn't I guess I won't have to worry about an answer!!
