I'm not real sure about whether disks started on the light line before
the 100/200's in 1974.  Definitely the whole line including 4WD's got
them in 74, except for some of the 200 4x4's--probably those that were
the remanents of the 1-ton models with the Dana 70 F/A--and the 500.  I
thought drums were standard on all through 73, but perhaps disks were
options earlier since an anti-skid system was an option too.  I can't
find a definite answer right now--need to go organize my literature files
someday and then maybe I'll be able to find something.  I don't have a
parts book for a pre-74 Light Line, but if someone has one, check to see
if disks are listed there to help answer the question.
