Re: disc brake an eaton
I don't know much about doing it, but I would think a '72 Eaton would use the same parts to do it as the '73- up, as the '72 rear has the newer style drums. I'm curious to know too.

Re: disc brake an eaton
I put them on mine, but I just made my own caliper brackets. I used front brackets and welded them to a flange that bolts to the housing where the backing plate was.
