There is a thread in General called Read This First.

I suggest reading that first.

Well get a big spoon,check out the search function,or just leave it as drum brakes so you dont have to ask these questions.

I didn't join this forum to get smart ass answers.. I was hoping to get info from someone who has done this.. not BS from someone who has nothing better than to reply like this... if you cant say something nice buzz off!!!!

I did discs on my truck, front and rear,it is a 620, just from the info already posted in this forum. You need to do some reading or pay someone to do it for you if you can't handle it

Mike makes disc brake brackets for your truck that uses the 85/86 720 vented disc brake calipers and rotors, his kit uses your kingpins, he is in the process of making a balljoint/disc brake kit that will get rid of the kingpins altogether, I posted the link above.

 

Sometimes members forget how hard it is to do something for the first time, and how bad the search function is on here.

 

I believe mike has a "how to" thread, concerning how to install his kits, or it might be on his website, here is a link to his website.

Here is the link to his kits again, and he has kits available right now, but that is not always the case, when he sells out, he doesn't  make any more for a couple years.

Beebani used to make a Pretty trick setup for the 521, but I think I grabbed his last mod before her jumped out..

[BEEBANI]

I still make them, as well as uca's that allow for king pin to ball joint swap

That's painful to look at.... $1200..... $450 was to get bigger wheels to fit the brakes and then 4 brand new tires so it seems alright! I have posts on my brake install with pics. Just look at my "content" or posts or whatever its labeled as.
