I'm pulling the rearend out of my 34 coupe today and having a posi unit installed in my 7.5 Next week. This would be a good time to convert my small drum brake set-up with discs. The problem I've run into is, I can't come up with a bolt on from any other vehicle. The closest I came was the solid steel disc on a Ford Explorer which is off an 8 inch rearend but I would have to have alot of machining work done to make it fit.
Is there any company out there that makes a disc brake conversion for a Ford 7.5? It's out of a older Ranger pick-up.
Thanks for any advice.

FYI: Found a company called Steel Tech Solutions that has a bolt on kit. 400 bucks plus.
