My question is what would it take to put six lugs discs on my dana 44 from a 79 bronco. Do you guys know like what parts and were to get them.:rasta:

Just get the outer knuckles & everything out from a Chevy or Waggy

You would need the older Chevy D44 hubs, with the smaller bearings. But then Im not sure if the Ford Calipers , (which mount to a different style brake mount on the knuckle) would alighn with the rotor location of the Chevy, hub and Rotor.

The rotor should be close enough. The ford setup allows the cailpers to slide quite a bit.

If a ford rotor works on a chevy spindle then I would think a chevy rotor would work on a ford. Could be wrong. But that's all you need. I'm doing the chevy disc brake conversion on a dana 44 that was drum. Chevy knuckle and spindle and ford rotor. I have some chevy rotors if ya need them. Jake
