75 disk brake conversion
i have heard that in order to do this you need to find a truck with the same axle as yours and get everything from the spindles out. this topic was discused a couple months ago i will try and find the link. and post it later.

I made the switch on my 75 F-100 years ago and the most logic way I could find was to by a wrecked newer truck and install complete front end. And while I was at it I changed the pile of crap hydraulic steering to a real gear box. Now the single speed transfer case that came in F-100 was also another story. I swapped it out with new t-18 transmission. What ever you want to know about a 1975 F-100 I can probably tell you.

here are spme pages that go into detail about the conversion on a bronco. but it is the same on a f-150. they basicaly use chevy blazer spindles with chevy calipers and ford hub assy's, rotors and wheel bearings. just remember they are chevy parts but a dana 44 axle is a dana 44 axle no matter what kind of truck it is under.

75 disk brake conversion
I have a similar question in the Axle section titled "Drum to Disc on D44."
There I've asked why Chevy parts? What's the advantage? etc. Especially if you have to remember years down the line that you have the Chevy calipers.
Mainly, I just thought I'd let ya'll know about the other post. It may be worth reading.
Thanks, sGreuel

one thing you have to remember is a dana 44 axle is a dana 44 axle weather it is under a ford dodge or chevy. the axles dont make the truck, the make of the truck is what makes it.
