Yes, I have searched the threads, but I am still unclear. I am somewhat new to this level of wrenching, so I want to make sure I am doing this right.
I have a stock 74 with drum brakes. I recently bought a 77 Dana 44 with disc brakes from a bronco and I am attempting to convert from drum to discs. I have removed everything from the knuckles out on the 77 and I am getting ready to reinstall these parts onto my truck. Are there any issues with the tie rod length? If so what should I buy? If I wanted to use this as an opportunity to get new tie rods, any recommendations? I was also planning to buy new brake lines for a 77. Will these work? The dust/brake baking shields are toast. Can I run without them or should I buy new ones?
Any other tips or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. This Bronco community is great.
