you should be able to change the stub shafts and hub and rotor from an f150 with manual hubs. that should be it.

That was my first mod to bronco. Those auto hubs suck. Pretty easy job with the right tools.

No need to change the shafts. Should be able to just go pick up a set of manual hubs from your local parts store. You may have to change the spindle nuts. Some you do and some you don't. If your nut has a half moon shaped lock ring that presses in and is held in by the hub, you need to buy a set of spindle nuts that will be an inner nut, a lock ring that has holes in it all the way around, and an outer nut. If you do, don't buy the warn nuts. They're way overpriced. You can get them from your local Ford dealership or drivetrain store for about half of what warn wants for them.
