Have 74 W100 Power Wagon, Club Cab, short box. 318, "340" cam, torqueflite. Daily adventure driver.
Know of any disc brake kits I could use with my lockout axle?
Also have a cruise speed surge with occasional backfire through exhaust. Pulls hard otherwise.
Thanks. Frank

Easy enough , I assume you have the 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern ?

Sorry Bear to be slow in replying. Hope you are well.
The 74 does have the 5 on 41/2 bolt pattern with lock out hubs. It's been a few years since I rebuilt the 11" drums and may be my best bet. I won't be doing much racing
You be safe.

No big deal . It's easy enough to swap your front to a disc set up . Just find a later 70's 4x4 full time four front end . Most of them had factory disc with the 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern . Take everything off from the axle housing out and swap it to your front axle . As for the full time four part , they make a locking hub conversion for it . Now you'll have disc up front and still have the same bolt pattern .
