How much should I expect to spend on the disc brake conversion?

[Joe Link]

They're fine right now, they're adjusted very well. I was just thinking in terms of the future.

I found a complete '85 axle for $75 hub to hub, I think I'll pick it up.

 

[Joe Link]

Oh another question. When I pull this axle (it's on the truck) what else do I need to grab?

 

[Poser]

See if you can grab the front driveshaft..You will not need it today, but may save you from looking for one later if you ever decide to do things ' outside the box'....

 

[Joe Link]

you're not a very nice person

pair of fj60 axles, $400,

done

better brakes and rotors to boot

not to mention larger steering knuckle pattern, also in common with mini convertion

I found a complete axle on the paper from a guy that was parting out an 81 mini truck for $100. I got new pads for $20 and that was it.

not a chance.

that gets you disc brakes, and a lighter wallet.

it does NOT get you stronger knuckles, stronger lockouts, stronger fine-spline birfields, and a whole lot more.
