Disc brakes and stock steel wheels

Still putting my plan fitment the ‘51 B3B farm truck together.
 

If I go with Rusty Hope front disc brakes (as some of you have), will my stock 16” steel wheels fit?  Really like to keep the old school hub caps.

 

And that brings up the rear differential. If I find a Cherokee rear diff with disc brakes, does the stock, 16” wheels fit over them?

 

So much to figure out. Thanks in advance.

My stock 16" wheels fit the Rusty Hope front conversion just fine.  I'm not sure Rusty Hope is still selling conversion kits.  Last I heard he was not making new kits anymore, just selling off the rest of his stock.  If he does have a kit available I would suggest you jump on it before they are all gone.

 

As for the rear, with the 1.5" spacers the stock wheels fit just fine on a Cherokee diff.  I don't remember the exact number but the Cherokee diff is at least 3" narrower so it would probably look rather funny with the wheels tucked in so close to the frame.
