Will be looking for minitruck disk brake swap set-up in near future

After the issue with my knuckle studs after the snow run, I will need to upgrade to a mini truck knuckle and disk brake set-up by the time we do Calico.

Since Xmas was last month, my wife and I need to put out the fire on the credit card before I can really buy any Cruiser stuff so at this moment, I cannot purchase what I need. But, hopefully in the next two months or so, I will be able to afford the swap.

So keep that in mind if anyone comes across a mini truck axle that I could swap the parts over. I hope to find an axle in good enough shape that I will not have to buy new rotors (just resurface them) and would like to spend around 200 bucks in the end. Although I may need to spend more up front and sell the mini truck axle housing to recoup some money.

Maybe around the end of March, if you hear of anything, let me know. In the mean time, if parts for the swap pop-up (knuckles, birfs, what ever) let me know and maybe I could start to gather a few parts as long as the cost isn’t too high.

From what I gather this is a list of parts I will need:
FRONT AXLE (79-85 Truck Knuckles)
Calipers
Rotors
Ft brake flex hose
Steering Arms
Kuckle Bearings
Brake Pads
Lock Washer
Axle seal
Seal kit
Inner wheel Bearing
Inner wheel Bearing Race
Outer wheel Bearing
Outer wheel Bearing Race
Mini Truck Axle
