disc brake conversion

Hi there can anyone help me with info for doing a disc brake conversion. My 1966 f250 need disc brakes. What years f250 can I get donner knuckles from? I believe just from alittle researching that up to the mid 70's use the same king pins. so Can I use those knuckles? or is there differences that I am not finding? My truck is 2 wheel drive

Any 73 to 79 front end will fit under your truck. just chang the hole front axels. It is just a slide out slide in. not to hard at all

I did my 250 using a parts truck from 1976.I used the whole front end because the king pins on th 65 were tiny compaired to the 76.I also used the power steering set from the 76.Good luck!
