hey, im sure the scouts are leaf sprung so its not a easy swap. your better off scoring a D44 from a 71-77 EB. not sure on the width

If I remember correctly, the width of the EB is 58" or so. I also think the Scout II's are 58". But as Chuck said, I do not think the leaf to radius arm conversion would be as economical as finding an EB D44.

I was wanting to do the Disc brake swap from a chevy and I didnt think it would work on the Dana 30. I would like a Dana 44. I forgot about the scout having leaf spings. Im a long way from putting this together, Im just collecting Parts right now. when I do put it together I want to do it right the first time. Its just going to be A driver and minor offroader and possibly some beginner rock climbing.

A disc swap from a chebby should be fine on the 30. The 44 is a lot stronger though.
