JBG Disc Brake conversion

[z70what]

I'm getting ready to order a disc brake conversion for my Dana 44 on my 74 Bronc.. I know a few of you have done this conversion and i have a few questions.. This kit is said to be "complete".... does it basically install the original hardware rotors and calipers and spindles and hubs onto my dana 44?? And when the pads wear down and/or i need new rotors, can i jsut go to Autozone or Napa, or O'Reilleys and ask for new rotors or calipers or pads for my 74 bronco? or will i have to special order pads/rotors/calipers etc to fit this kit from JBG later on down the road?? Thanks

Brian- how did you figure out what they are using? (obviously they don't put it in the catalog.. so people can't do their's cheaper.. haha)

Also- Does anyone have any pictures of there install complete?? I'm not worrying about the install... should be a piece of cake.. i just want to see what the JBG set up looks like.. thanks

Most of the vendor are selling the Chebby conversion, it will work on the Dana 30 and the 44. Here is a link to the tech article.http://classicbroncos.com/disc.shtml

I prefer to call my conversion "A transfer of dana spicer produced parts, manufactured under the guide lines of another OEM." It is not a chevy conversion. I don't think they actually manufactured any of the transfered parts. Anyone?????

Duff's has the only true "all new" not rebuilt Ford disc brake conversion. If you want to stay with Ford Parts this is the only way to go.
