its still closed knuckle so it has the less than desireable setup.. you might aswell buy a rear 70 and cut it down and buy all new knuckle parts because to make it worth  anything you are going to have to convert the outers plus change the splines in the diff anyway since its all old school 16 spline stuff in there

There is a disc brake kit to convert for around $400 but still like mentioned above, junk.  Looks to be a Dana 44 front but if it is an early closed knuckle 60 it is scrap metal.
