wheel hub

Today my front wheel hub literaly broke in half, I have a 71 f100 4x4. I cant find one at any autoparts store I am going to try junk yards on monday but i dont expect to have any luck. Does anyone know where I can buy one or I am also thinking about doing the brake conversion to disc I have a 79 bronco donor truck. I read the tech article on it but that was for 2 wheel drive will everthing still swap for a 4 wheel drive I am sure this question has been asked a 100 times but I was not able to do a search because the site was to busy. any help will be very much appreciated.

79, I don't have much dealings with the 4X4, but a lot with this series truck.

You should be able to bolt the complete Bronco front end under your truck. I believe the 79 has the better power steering setup than is in your current truck. Grab a good measuring tape and measure hard & heavy. You will need to know diff. ratios, axle spline count and the like. This will not be easy, but can be done.

Remember measure twice and cut once.
