Yeah everything except the bracket you can buy at your local auto parts store
At the beginning of this thread 2 other people commented on how they made their 8 lug trucks work with disk brakes. But as long as everything fits, there is no reason that it shouldn't work.
Hey Mechanixman

So once you figure out the bracket configuration you will have something that all the parts can be bought over the counter at the local parts store...I hope you can share the bracket sketch dimensions so I can send a copy off to the local machine shop and have him make up a pair for me...

Suddenly that makes a stock 1 ton that much more drive-able and stoppable too...thanks for all leg work your are doing. I think you are saving a lot of us from having to swap front axles too.

Thank you thank you thank you...
