You did mention that you are just curious what's involved, so I'm curious what you were maybe hoping to gain with the conversion? I have both. Disk all round on the 567 and drum on all else. IMO,() They're like the front air suspension, cool, but over rated.

Wether or not it would be a super involved or cost effective bolt on conversion. IMO if the wheel ends are totally different (they probably are) I would say not worth it. But there are some technical and performance advantages to disk brakes. They probably don’t get frozen stuck either in the winter.

I know a guy that did it on his dump truck, he got a crashed truck that had disc, swapped them over and cost 10k+ in some shop in Tampa, FL.....said that it was so worth cause the difference was night n day for stopping distance and acceleration for local driving

I was going to say 'cut-off'.

Probably, now that I really think about it that would be the straightforward way to do it.

Maybe on a front axle it could be a more realistic bolt on conversion
