9 inch rear conversion

[lovechevytrucks2]

Hi Again I have a Ford 9 inch small bearing rear end. I plane on installing it in my 59 fleetside. I donyt know the year of it and i found trying to reserch the year was frustrating to say the least .I want to convert to disac brakes. can it be done without using the conversion kit. There expensive .Can it be done by utalizing parts from another more modern ford rear end IFso is there a thread for this.I have access to a junk yard and very cheap parts. While im here, can anyone give me a list of any swap meets in the New York State area .Thanks. Tony
