Ford torino housing ends on 12 bolt rear end - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck is a 68 C-10 short wide. I have a narrowed factory 12 bolt rear end with moser axles 5 on 4 1/2 bolt circle and torino style housing ends.

I want to put disc brakes on my rear end and have heard that a rear disc set up from a ford explorer is a direct bolt on? Caliper bracket bolt pattern etc..Just want to know from someone that has first hand knowledge or experience, if this is indeed a direct swap or what modifications if any are needed. Also what years of explorer work?
Thanks
