Is there a kit or anything that will bolt up to the brakes to 1) elimante the rear drums and convert to disk 2) replace front calipers/rotors to better upgraded brakes on my 79 350?
If you want a complete improvement to the rear start looking for a 92 or newer Sterling with disc brakes and posi. In the future, state if it's a dually 350 or a srw, there are 2 frame widths involved and a different brake bias set up.
Measure the center pins of the spring perches and make sure they match up to your front springs. However just looking at the pictures I'm pretty sure it's the proper 78-79 Dana 60 front. Be aware though, swapping to that front axle may require you to shorten your drive shaft. Since you have a high pinion Dana 44 you may not have to.
That'd be awesome! I'm making my to-do list of things I want/need to do to the truck now so the slow project can get things checked off the list. Eventually the axle will get swapped
To verify everything, use the axle's BOM (Bill of Material) and hit up dana's website. or post here and someone can look it up. Here's an example of my '77 f250 dana 44:
