Trucks that were 4x4's that is, lol!

Kind of back from the dead but I just did this not long ago...Easy bolt on with even easier to find parts than 71-72 K10 stuff. I converted my drum brake open knuckle Dana-44 in my 69 to disc with caliper brackets, calipers, spindles, rotors & 4x4 hubs from a donor square body. Simple bolt-on installation. The wheel bearing size changed on the inners so you can't reuse the drum brake spindles. The bolt pattern is the same though so no big deal, you have to pull them any way to install the disc brake caliper bracket.
