Brake question????

Ok , I am new to this refurb thing so bear with me.....
Can some one tell me how to change the front drum brakes over to disc brakes? My burb is a 6 lug application , and I want to keep the drums on the rear. Can I pull the parts from a 71 or 72 truck or burb? If so , what are the key parts? Any help would be great!
Thanks!!!!

Re: Brake question????

You can find a stock 71 and up spindle and then add a disc brake conversion kit to it and some companies have a 6lug rotor so you dont have to change your wheels.

Im sure on this site there are a ton of gusy with stock 71-72 or 73-87 spindles that would help you get started or start from scratch with a spindle and brake package from anywhere like ECE,CCP,or Mcgaughys.
