I did a reply in another post about disc brakes. I have a 67 closed knuckle axle. I was looking at some parts and the guy had a 67SWB4X4 with disc brakes.
All he did was get them off of a 80 1/2 chevy 4X4 and bolted them on. I took one hub off my my 67 and one side off my 85 and the just bolt on.
Go to a junkyard and get from the steering knuckle out, replace/rebuild the wear parts and bolt on.
Remember have to replace the master cylinder and proportioning valve.
Factory parts................
