Remember "A" body drums and axles are narrower (bearing to flange) than the others.

I believe mopar mentions the conversion to stock later model front disc brake assemblies will widen the track about 3/4" per side . The wider front track gives the appearance of crabbing from both sides!

I have had a small pattern set(axles and drums) drilled to large pattern using "A" body the 7/16 wheel studs that worked great.

It may be a better (but $) route to do a complete disc kit on all four corners.
