Disking a junkyard D60.

[MR EXTREME JEEP]

Got this old full floating D60 diff for the Willys. Need to do some work to it before it makes it onto the truck.
Would like some disk brakes. Also need and axle and also need to convert it to 5 on 5 1/2 to suit front diff and rims I have already.
Before I start pulling this down does anyone know what disk brakes will work?
The diff is originally out of a Dodge/international delivery van/truck, model number is an AB110 i think, were around a lot as delivery vans for bread trucks.
Here are some pics to help.

Just a question, if its not going offroad and your not going locker etc, why bother changing to disk brakes?
A lot of stuffing around for not much benefit.
Would be easier to leave it as a 8 lug, drum brake rear (which work well if set up and maintained) and change the front to 8 lug, using ford or GM D44 outer components.
8 lug rims are easy enough to find. I know you said you have rims but surely its easier to run with the drums and swap rims rather than what you are trying to do?

Just remember this is EJ we are talking about here, you know he does EVERYTHING the hard, long, wrong, sideways, upside down, do something just to be differnt way.

[Wooders]

Stick with the 8 lug and just swap in a 4banger ;)

[turbomart]

Another thought, if its not gunna get wheeled hard , why not hunt up a 20 0r 44 with the right stud pattern?

Sell it on ebay and do what tomahawk said, put a nine inch in you cant break them.

I have seen broken nine inches. They do take a pounding, but do break.
