Econoline is a straight axle with kingpins
A mustang is IFS with ball joints.

Disc brake conversions have been covered here. Doing a search showed 11 topics already. There are probably others that also discuss it, but don't have DISC in the title, like this one.
Why are you trying to find a new answer? D&D conversions have been used, reported on and approved by members here. They are pretty reasonable, and offer the option of you sourcing the discs and calipers, so you can do some bargain hunting too.
