I currently have 4 wheel drum on my 65Burrb 4x. I would appreciate any info on a conversion to front disc using a donor truck or a supplier for a kit. Thanks

Hello swampratt, welcome to the Stovebolt cool
Does your burb still have the original closed knuckel front axle?
If so, the 71 and up Dana 44 axles will bolt in with a little muscle. They will have the disc brake and open knuckle front axle.
Make sure you have the correct gear ratio to match the rear end. If your rear ratio is 4:11, you will need a 4:10 front ratio. Rear 4:10, front 4:09. Rear 3:73, front 3:72. Rear 3:08, front 3:07.
_The master cylinder and proportioning valve will be needed from the same truck that donates the axle assembly.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

I appreciate the info Mechainiac. The old Burb is all original and I am looking forward to swapping for front disc. Can I use the original steering box or will I have to swap that to? Thanks again

Is yours power?
It is fairly easy to switch to power steering cool
