Couple questions for the dana 44 guys?????
I have been doing a decent amount or research on the eb dana 44s. The ones i have can get for pretty cheap all have drum brakes. I have heard that a dana 44 is a dana 44.
so will the knuckles out of a ttb f150 work on an eb dana 44 so i can convert to disc brakes? if not
what years would i need the knuckles off of so i could have disc brakes on the front?

First off... you do realize that if all you do is swap in a stock EB D-44 in place of the D-35 you're going to end up with a weaker axle assembly?
The D-35 has 297x u-joint's the EB d-44 has smaller 260x u-joints. You'll need to replace the axle shafts in order to swap to a larger u-joint... but that's not your question... just letting you know.
secondly, 71-75 Ford Bronco's have drum front brakes. 76-77 Ford Bronco's have 11-inch disc brakes. you can convert it to disc brakes.... you'll need to find a 78-79 Ford Bronco or a 73-79 Ford F-150 and get the following parts:
Steering knuckle
Brake backing plate
Caliper holder (Haynes calls this the Anchor plate)
Spindle
Wheel bearing locking nut, lock ring washer and wheel bearing adjusting nut
Caliper support key and spring
Rotor (use as a core for a new one)
Locking Hubs
Basically, you'll be needing everything from the knuckles out. just replace your existing parts with these new ones...
