At what is needed to convert a 6 lug drum to 6 lug disc w stock wheel(s) 15"

As in , what worked with obtaining part(s) from a salvage yard to the part(s) store

I do not recommend using the '88-'98 LD 2500 spindles rotors and calipers to convert to a 6 lug disc brake. Several people have had issues with not being able to achieve proper caster. Until someone uses those parts and discovers the secret, it is a much safer bet to just use the squarebody spindles, balljoints, tierods, calipers, etc along with the aftermarket 6 lug rotors. If you choose to make the conversion using the factory parts as described in post#1 of this thread, do so with the understanding that it may not work correctly.

No matter which way you go. You can not use original '60-'66 6 lug wheels with disc brakes.
