1963 Scout 80 Needs Dana 44's

[RustyNuts80]

Hi Folks,
Dan here. Just joined Sonora Desert Scouts a few weeks ago. Someday soon, I'm looking forward to meeting you on the road. I have a 1963 Scout 80, 154. I'm rebuilding this machine, she runs and drives. Has some rust (LOL) that I'm working on now. I understand the Dana 27's in this machine are not good. Would like to have disc brakes and a setup that can be serviced. Does anyone know where I can find a front Dana 44 with Disc brakes, same for the rear? Also i have no clue how to convert/modify/mount them on a Scout 80. Axles were not something I learned in school. Thanks!
Rusty AKA Dan.

Hi J.P.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm new to scout construction so thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I don't use facebook so I will send an email. Thank you kindly for providing me that direction as well.
