Axle compatibility?

[BrandonMag]

I was cruising CL and came across this:

Would this axle work with my truck? It's got drum brakes. Is there a way to fit the existing disc brakes from my TTB setup currently on my truck to this?

TIA

Anything could be made to work but that one would take modifications as some spring measurements are different for the pre '79 axles.

That's the info I was looking for.

i don't think you realise this but the axle he is talking about in the ad is a rear. if you want to do a disk rear there are plenty of company's that sell rear disc conversion brackets for a rear 60.
