Dana 30 disc brake conversion

I'm converting my drums to discs in the front. Can anyone rx the parts I need to order. I was planning on ordering off the net from Morris, Quad or ? Also, can I add a power booster at that time?

I thought I'd try to do a pictorial of the projects for posting...if it goes ok.

I can't claim to do everything right to Caveat Emptor. If you are just converting the D30 over, it should be relatively simple.

 

I recall that the easiest way to convert a Dana 30 from drum to disc brakes is to swap out the knuckles. You find a later Dana 30 axle with disc brakes, remove the knuckles at the ball joints, and install them on your axle. This has the advantage of keeping your existing axle ratio; later Dana 30s aren't very desirable due to their tall (low numeric) ratios, and should be cheaper to source than all the pieces you need. If you search old threads, this option has been covered before.
