Front Disc and Knuckle/Spindle

[Chrono]

Hello everyone, its been awhile!

So very recently, my 74 Duster broke a right front wheel bearing!

So, I was wondering, since its drums on the front, I'd like to convert it to front disc.
Now I have heard I can use knuckles from a 75 Volare/valiant.
Any truth to this? And can I use the same ball joints? I was going to replace all 4, so I already bought and paid for them. Even got installed(on the side that broke too!!!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

AWESOME

Now I just need to decide whether to get new or used....
I'd honesty like to get a set.

F, M, J 76-80 and later...all a nice swap to get discs. If your going to pull them at a JY grab the prop valve/distribution block too. Dont bother with the control arms, wont fit. On a 74 A body you should have the large ball joint uppers already.
I usually have a set around but i'm fresh out at the moment.

You don't HAVE to do that. Run over to "MyMopar and download some, free. The 72 and 73 manuals, and maybe a couple of others, came from this site here

The 73 manual is in two sections, but should be very close to your 74
