A set of brand new rear axles from moser drilled for your application 285 plus shipping. Can't beat it with a stick. Much cheaper than buying a disc kit. Also the parts are cheaper than using 71-72 parts. Just my opinion though.

I am doing this for the front, BUT, and this the BIG difference, I ordered McGaughy's 6 lug rotors and kept every thing 6 lug. The McGaughy rotors fit the 1 1/4" HD brake setup. This will save you a lot of coin. The rotors are less than 1/2 the cost of axels. No new rims to buy. No new axel seals, diff seal and oil.
When getting the junkyard parts, try to get all of the frame from the bumper brackets to behind the shocks. Have the brake line unscrewed from the master cylinder. If you don't already have power brakes, get the M/C and booster including the pedal rod. Oh, the better shape the donor is in, the less replacing you will need.
