Before you stop me, I know this has been asked about before but the thread died so here goes. I just got a 1973 E-100 from my buddy georgi (started the thread before), It has 4 wheel drums with a little bit of a twist. The rearend is a newer ford 9-inch that has a big 5 lug while the front is the original drums with a small 5 lug bolt pattern. I want to convert the front end to disks and if possible, big 5 lug. I know the conversion to disks can be done but Don't know where to start.we've had some ideas stemming from what he found out before but was hoping somebody who has done this could give us a shove in the right direction. The size of the lug pattern is really secondary but would be nice. any assistance would be great. -Brett

Thank you for the insight Hank! I know where there is an early Chevy that we could probably function as one hahahah.

The link to the econoline page is great. I had been on there before but I found a thread that I hadn't seen before that is amazingly detailed. Thanks a lot guys.
