1978 Bronco Front Disc Brake Swap

[mickphatmac]

I have a Dana 44 out of a '78 Bronco.

I was reading about doing an entire front end disc swap, from the knuckles out. Just doing the brakes, not swapping to full width on the Luber!

My question is... Can I really do this swap with my Dana 30? Or do I need a Dana 44 to begin with?

This is what I saw...

You need a 44 to do the Ford brake swap. D30 uses kingpins instead of ball joints. You can do the chevy brake swap on a D30. http://classicbroncos.com/tech/chevy-di ... conversion

I'm documenting my journey with the F150 swap. I have the used parts for the Chevy swap if you want to go that way. Spindles and caliper mounts. I have a thread going on my swap.

Do the Chevy swap it's cheap the brakes work good.
