    This should get you started in the right direction;

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Bobs link shows you all the pieces you will need to change, and then keep an eye on ebay.
    I picked up a complete disc set up for a 67 mustang i'm building for my sister&brother in law off ebay for $110 that included the spindles,calipers and basicly everything to swap to disc with the exception of the rotors. Usually you can find those parts on ebay all the time for a good price.

    Hey I have a 10 bolt posi 3.73 gears. its 8.5 i think? I picked it up for free from a friend. He didn't know what it came off of. It doesn't have any brakes on it and I'm trying to find the right brake parts to use. If any one could offer help that would be great. Thanks
