You would need to change to a 1/2 ton axle for the parts to work.

You can also put 1/2 ton spindles on your 3/4 ton axle by
reaming the bushings to match your kinpin.

Thanks I went to look at the parts last night. The brakes are still on the frt axle and everything looks new. He switched out to a Mustang 2 set up. He said when he hit a bump in the road the front end would shimmy some so I will need to check the tightness of the rod ends . I am hoping that the spring center pins on the 1/2 ton are the same as my 3/4 ton.If so I got a heck of a deal on a set of disc brakes.
