Looking for help on K-20 drum to disk convertion

[onetonwrecker]

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help. I'm not new to the 67-72 truck world, I've owned several. however I am new to the "k" world. I was recently able to acquire my dream truck. A 1970 k-20 4 speed truck. It needs love but I finally got one. My first priority is a obvious one. Brakes. I'm looking for information on converting in over to disk. I know there are numerous threads on the topic and it makes my head spin sorting through them all so I apologize for starting a another one. from everything I have found so far I need a newer 8 lug dana 44. I called my local junk yard and found a 76 k20 truck dana 44 for $200. I'm not sure the ratio of my truck nor the junk yard axle. I would like to possibly switch knuckles if that's possible? any info, advice, or pictures would be so helpful. This page is the best and so is the 67-72 community. Thank you for taking the time to read my mess
