I haven't done any but I have seen them installed and they work fine. Most of the aftermarket suppliers can provide just about anything lately. My 88 has the 5 on 5 bolt pattern and it was used up through 98 on the 1500 series 2 wheel drive. That will give you more options for a rear end. I don't know if the width is compatable with a TF truck though.

yes, i have done the conversion, but with the 5 on 4.750 bolt circle. mine is a 57 3100 with straight axle front.
i think with the 4.750 bolt circle you will have more wheel options.

i have the brackets for the 4.75 disc conversion but that won't match the rear end.
