75F350 are you grinding off the cup on the caliper bracket? I did the chevy spindles on the front of my 76 bronco Dana 44. I have another set of brackets off of a 77 chevy and it has a cup on it....second question is if you had a good way of making sure the bracket is centered before you drill the Big Ford bolt pattern into the bracket?
Thanks for any help....

Hello everyone, brand new member here. I have a completely stock 1970 2WD F250. I would like to complete a disc brake conversion on the front and rear. Is it better to keep the axles and buy the parts or get a junkyard axle with disc brake setup?

Feel free to start your own thread on this. I think you probably have a Dana 60 axle, but you should confirm that first. You would not have a 9 inch in an F250, so any solution in this thread is not applicable to your truck.
IMO a front disc swap is well worth the effort. On a stock truck, the rear disc swap is a marginal effort. The complications, odd ball parts, and parking brake issues overcome the marginal increment in braking. Well done properly adjusted rear drums with quality parts provide ample braking for most circumstances.
