Ford disc brake question.

Does any one know what year that ford first sent with the disc brake rear end?

I have a 1991 F250 and would like to convert it.
The local wrecker only wants $125 for a complete disc rear end, and if I can find one that will fit the spring mounts, I'm in!

Verified 19 mpg city taking off slow as hell the shutting down at red lights, and with the radiator grill blocked flush, no bed cover, "drag shoot" mirrors on I get 24 mpg at 50 to 55 mph on the freeway empty!
However, with a bed cover, no mirrors and Hydroxy

I believe rear disks were first introduced on the 99 model year Superduty trucks. I know mine has them.

Shoot a PM to FMTRVT. He would know for sure.

KLHansen always gives good advice.

F250/350 first production year was 1999.
