Have a awesome old J4000 I'm slowing beginning to build 360 th400 Dana 20 d44 d60 semi float rear. Super clean minus needing floor pans. Got a question about disc brake conversion for the front closed knuckle a axle like donor parts or is it better to just go with a bj off road kit? Thanks
New here 71 J4000

Welcome. I converted my 71 to front disks before the "kits" were widely available in the 90's. Even then the only junkyard parts I used were the backing plates. I used my original hubs but needed to face the back side of the wheel flange, press in new studs, etc... If I had to do it over today, I would probably order a kit.
If the 12" drums you take off are in even close to usable condition don't scrap them, they're currently hard to find.There are 2 rules to success in life...
Rule #1: Don't tell people everything you know.

Welcome! It's always good to see more pickups around here to shore up the numbers a little.'85 J20 Old Man Truck, bought @ 65K miles - not great, but better than walking.

Did you know? Willys is just Willis spelled differently, but pronounced the same. Neither Willy nor his apostrophe are involved.
