Disc Brake Conversion

I'm hoping there is some info on here for old Mopars. I've bought a 32 Plymouth sedan that is going to be delivered to me around Xmas. It'll be a hot rod, no fenders, and also not a rat rod. I'm gathering parts right now and got to thinking about a front disc conversion. It has what is call a mopar wavy axle that someone has installed with a transverse spring. From what little I know, I think they used the axle on 34 and up. but not sure. Does anyone know what has to be done to do a disc brake conversion? I'm going to try and post a pic of the axle if I can. They have this set up now as a suicide axle and I'm going to make some changes but I'd really like to keep this axle, everything has a ford type axle in it. Sorry, should have resized it I guess, anyway any help appreciated.

You should be able to change the spindles and put front Disc conversion on it..... Check with TCI, Pete & Jakes, Rodders Shop,... Lots of them Street Rodders made changes to convert...

I found a couple kits using the stock spindles but they are $350 and up and you still have to buy rotors, calipers, bearings and seals. That sounds kinda crazy to me.
