Sweet project by the way! Another option for the disc brakes on the front (if you're hung up on keeping the original axle), is to swap the outer knuckles with a later axle. That's what I did on my '70. But looking back, swapping out the axle would have been a heck of alot easier...

That's a sweet looking truck you got there! What size lift did you put on? I agree, my transfer case looks exactly like a 205. Same gear shift pattern as a 205 as well. I'll know for sure this weekend when I get it cleaned up.

I thought about doing the knuckle swap to keep the original axles, but like you said, an axle swap would be easier. Plus I've got the HO52 rear end, and I've heard its hard to find parts for it, especially the drums.
