Unfortunately there is no kit. I had a Dana 44 out of a 72 with disc breaks. I swapped out everything from the knuckles out. The only thing that isn’t a direct fit is the original axles from the closed knuckle need to be turned down slightly to fit the new bearings. It was easy for me as I have a friend with a lathe. You also must change the Master. If you search this sight you’ll find more information. That’s where I found it. Just for your information the breaks for a 14 bolt can be installed on an HO. Backing plates on out. Good Luck.
