Question 75 ford

I have a 75 ford f100 4x4, and have drum brakes on the front axle, and was wondering if I could put a 78 axle with disk brakes on it, and everything still work right.

I am not a brake king but I think you will need to change the master cylinder, brake booster, and porportioning valve.
I'm going to change to disk brakes in my 3/4 ton and I believe that is correct info.
Good Luck

Well I was gonna use the axle I have but the hub on one side completely wore out, and the previous owner was running 40'' tires on a dana 44. A guy told me that you should only go as big as 35 on that type of axle, so I thought it would be better to replace the whole axle, and was wanting to convert to disk but that sounds like more money than I want to spend, so now I need to find another axle.
