Question Disc brakes

New kid question, and I can't find a thread dealing with this specifically without going through pages and pages of topics, so here goes --- I have a '65 F-250 4x2 with the 352 and 4-speed. My understanding is that ANY 2wd 3/4-ton disc set-up from '67-'79 is a direct swap to the '65 drums; is this correct? What do I need from the donor truck and what do I need to keep from my '65, is this is correct? If this is not correct, what do I do then?

Thanks!

Normally,you just change the spindle/knuckle.But '65 kingpins are a different size,so you'll have to change the I-beams.
