If you must have disks, getting a late model axle would be the way to go. At least the brake system was designed for a heavy truck and not a collection of less than sterling parts cobbled together to resemble rear disks. Check the classifieds on CK5 or Pirate4x4. There is no shortage sheeple copying each other’s build threads in doing the drum to Eldo disk brake swaps. You would think a lot of drum brake parts could be found from those guys.
csb#356,
If you look hard enough there can be a success story found for just about anything.
