    front disk brakes

     



    I have a Ford 9 inch rear end and the dropped axle out of a '51 ford pickup. I want to convert to disk brakes. I find kits and ideas everywhere for the rear, but cant find anything for the front dropped axle. I've tryed doing a search on here, but find nothing. Has anyone here have any ideas, or links to places that sell kits? I did find a couple kits with the axle, spindles, steering, and everything, but would like to use my same axle and spindles if possible. I'm not sure if I could find a set of front rotors that would fit on my spindles, and just get bearings, and make a bracket to hold the callipers or something.
    has anyone here done it before, and how? Any ideas would be really apreciated.

    Thanks

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
