1 ton disc brake conversion

[Jinx]

Its time to put some discs on the 14 bolt.

I have the Caliper brackets figured out, but I was wondering if there was a certain year of caliper or rotor that works better than others.

I know 1973 chev half ton front calipers have the same tread pattern as a #4 hydralic line, but I am not sure on the 3/4 ton...

Let me know what you know.
thanks

When I put discs on my FF 60, I got weld on brackets from www.AA-mfg.com and I used rotors from a mid 70's chevy 3.4 ton(8 lug) and then calipers from a mid 70's 1/2 ton chevy. For lines I just went to pick n pull and got some rubber lines from the front of an old chevy.

'73 3/4 ton rotors with '73 1/2 ton calipers.
