Interchangable? 88' IFS to mini-truck SFA?

What will interchange? I am thinking all I might could use is the IFS hubs, and the calipers. Will the rotors work as well?

The IFS stuff is off an 88' model 4x4, and the SFA is actually a FJ-40 axle, but will be converted to mini-truck outers (to convert to disc brakes).

What will interchange if anything? Thanks.
 
The lug bolt flange oset is set out further in the IFS hubs, Front Range Offroad has/had a spacer kit that will space the rotors to where you need then to fit IFS calipers, or it will at least give you ideas on how to make your own.

I have a set of knuckles from an '85 solid axle and a pair of IFS calipers loaded new/remans $200 for all.

To use the IFS calipers you will need to buy ~'81 Cruiser vented rotors, IF you use mini truck solid axle hubs. I forget the year you need to specify if you are using earlier Crusier hubs (earlier hubs do not use the lug studs to locate the rotor, as the '84-'85 mini trucks do. '76 was first year for disc brakes on the Crusier if I remember right)

Knuckles will include steering arms and wiper seal plates and all bolts except caliper bolts.

and I do have a complete '84 axle I'll sell for $250 includes Aisin manual hubs
 
Well, I am getting the axle from RK. He said that all I have to do to convert it to disc brakes is to swap all the outers (knuckles out) from a mini-truck axle. I was going to use the stuff I have here as spares, but it looks like it might make more sense to just sell it.

I also had thought about using the IFS calipers/rotors to convert the rear cruiser axle to disc brakes, but not sure how that would work out either. (gotta do some searching around)

I think I can get the knuckles and stuff for cheap, probably all I will need is the stub shafts.
