disc brake conversion
Does anyone know of a conversion kit to put disc on the front I beam of econolines. I am interested in changing over for two reasons. One to stop better and two to get better gas mileage.

hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, stop better, and better gas mileage?
ok i'll admit, disc brakes do work better. i have never had any trouble stopping with the origional drum brakes, but discs would be a little better i am sure.
how will you get better gas mileage with discs over drum? just curious.

the econoline front and rear axles are strictly econoline. same width as a pickup, but wider spring spacing.
