My preference doing this conversion would be machining the 1 ton spindle to accept any available disc brake setups offered for 1/2 tons. That would also allow all other front end parts to be stock 1 ton pieces without custom bushings, bearings or anything else. Today i found a local machine shop willing to machine the 1 ton spindles to 1/2 specs for a very reasonable fee. With the spindles having 1/2 ton dimensions for bearings and brakes I should be able to purchase a 6 lug disc brake conversion from any of the various vendors. The machinist said this should be very straightforward. We will see
