1975 FJ40 disk brake question

[broth9640]

I have a 1975 FJ40 that has the F@ engine with amby rear doors , but my front brakes are drum. Is this possible that they are stock? I thought the engine, rear doors, and brakes were all upgrades that happened at once. Possible axle swap? Production date is August of 1975

Missed it by one month! Disc started in Sept '75.

Thanks,
My brake booster/master cylinder has a sticker that says its for use with disk brakes? Can I just swap in an Axle with disks from a later year? Anything special I would need to do? Will the drive line and suspension be compatible ?

Why don't you just do a disk brake conversion? Costs the same and less work.

What kit would you recommend?

I have a '75 too. I did a mini truck with new FJ60 rotors and 4Runner V6 calipers. So no kit needed just go to a junkyard and wrench away...

Is it that simple on the rear conversion? From all the posts I have read it seems it lot more complicated.
