Are these weld-on C's?

Clicky for picture - http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...3-11-07007.jpg

Are these the weld-on style brackets where the radius arm connects to the axle? I can remove these brackets and have a smooth axle tube?

The axle is from a '75 F100. It is a D44 hi-pinion with drum brakes. I can convert this axle to disk brakes using the knuckles, spindles, rotors/hubs, and calipers from a '79 Bronco?

I may use this axle for a SAS into an Explorer. The smooth axle tubes will allow places for welding on the leaf springs perches, and then I need to convert it to disc brakes.

i'm not sure if anyone answered this question for you yet but i saw you had a couple posts. you can cut off the mounts for the raidius arms from 75 the axle and get a smooth serface with a little grrinder work. and from the balljionts out is what you need to do the disk convertion. the parts off the 79 bronco would work perfect.
