Probably need to get new brake hoses.

yha i was thinking about them, from everything i have seen they look the same on disc and drum models so i think im all good there but could be wrong

I'm thinking you need:
knuckles, hubs, rotors, calipers and as stated maybe hoses
you can use your existing master just by removing the residual valve from the front circuit

Yha mate, will have the knuckles with everything on them ready to go, the calipers are good but no big deal if i need new ones same for pads and roters, as for the master its only a few hundred and i know it will work all good and probably needs replacing anyways, i wont worry about the hoses i can easily get others if needed from every video and other post on it i haven't seen anyone talk about the hoses being different so im not stressed

If your swapping out knuckles you should probably center them per the fsm using the centering tool.

These require you to re-use your course spline (low strength) outer birf joint and free-wheel hubs, both of which have no options for upgrades. If you have a 1958-10/67 4x axle, you'll also want to upgraded your entire front axle assembly not just the knuckles/brakes. The 1958-10/67 axles don't feature an inner axle seal (can be overcome with a conversion seal) but also have smaller diff studs, course spline inner axle shafts, etc. You...
