i going to rebuild my 1tons and want to run my 3/4 tons until they are ready, i read my 14bff disk conversion will work on my sf axle, search didn't turn up much and i wondering does brackets bolt on just like on the ff? and how does rotor go on the lugs?
 
Pretty darn certain they aren't the same, since there are specific 14SF plates made.

The tube diameter is, and I believe the backing plate bolt pattern is, but the distance from the backing plate "flange" is probably quite a bit different between the two.
 
been there and done that. There are a few things diff, but your brackets may work. I am super busy and home for lunch and a quickie. when i get done working tonight, if i am awake, i will give some assistance.

I'm just about finished with a disc conversion on my 1990 14bsf. I'm using RuffStuff brackets that bolted right on & calipers from a mid-70's 1-ton. The rotors go on behind the axle flange held on by longer (front wheel) studs. My worn out front rotors would have fit perfectly, the drilled & slotted ones I actually used had to be ground down a little in the center to fit flush. I can get some pix tonight if you're interested. Just waiting on some braided flexlines before I can test it.
 
OK here's what I've got. I'm just waiting on the flex lines at this point so nuthin's been tested yet. Everything seems to fit fine although the bolts holding the caliper bracket on might be a tad short now that I see em from behind. The wheel studs are a little longer than they need to be but I'm still on stock wheels. The outer pads are dragging just a bit but I think that'll remedy its self as soon as the EBC brake-in layer wears off. I had to grind around the inside lip of the rotors to get them to sit flush behind the axle flanges, stockers fit perfectly. No major problems other than my ill-fated attempts at reflaring the hardlines.
