1976 b1600 Disc Conversion

Hi All,
Have only recently started into the older Ford trucks after having my fun with MK1 and MK2 escorts.
I currently received a Mazda B1600 1976 with drums all round and was wondering if a conversion is possible to disc brakes, front and rear or even just front?
For example, a donor car which i can remove the front end from and what needs to happen etc.
Many Thanks
Kieran

I'm not very familiar with the older B-series, but I'd imagine the frame didn't change until they switched body styles in '94 to match the Ranger, so you could take some measurements on a late '80s or early '90s B-series and I'd almost bet the axles would swap over.
