drop axle with discs

I want to put in the 3 inch drop axle and convert to disc at the same time.With the disc spindles are thier any good caliper/rotor donors,from ford or gm if i have to.I am pretty good about scrounging parts if i know what to look for .Running out of money already.Seems like I read an article about using the gm stuff, but it might have been to swap out lincoln calipers.56 fe

Get a basic conversion kit from MPP (Master Power Brake) you the brackets and a few other parts you need. You have to supply calipers, rotoers, bearings etc. They will give you a list of what will fit.
