Hey Villa I have had my 4 link in for over 10 years but as soon as the dually is done I am going to get back on my stepside. I am looking for a 9" ford rear end with disk brakes to Narrow. I already have a set of 15 X 12 convo Pro's for it. Here are a couple of picts.

Cubic, I see your hunting a 9" & disc brakes. The ideal set-up I feel if your wanting to match the GM truck front bolt pattern is this: Get any 9" housing, Get the rear brake set-up off of a '90's Caprice/Impala, When you have the housing done buy the ends that except the 3.150 bearing w/ the GM car backing plate pattern, The axleshafts will have to have a 1/4" longer "set-out" to match the GM distance, The wheel bolt pattern is the same as the trucks & you get modern brakes for a vehicle of similar weight & you can buy parts at any local store. They have the built-in drum inside for the E-brake. Just a thought, Lorne
