    Does anyone know if ther is a way to put disc brakes on a 40 Dodge truck axle? My axle will work perfect for what im doing but the front brakes are not the best.

    Chuck Grove-425-398-1634. He's made several sets for older Mopar axles and can make a set for yours too.

    Check with OLDDADDY on here. Go to his member page and then his home page. I'm pretty sure he has a kit to convert your stuff over to discs.

    It look like you just need to swap sides with them and it should be no issue.

    Rusty Hope makes them for the Mopar trucks and he is on the HAMB . You can just buy the bracket and find the other parts or buy the complete set up and do it the easy way .
