I was gonna go that route, but there is a cool cheap system that allows the use of common GM brake calipers and some ford rotors that spec within the GM caliper clearences ( I can look up matches at school through the refrence book), using my spindals, by using brackets that take place of the drum backing plates and mount the calipers. simply remove all brake stuff, including backing plates, then take the drum to a machine shop and have the swedge cut off, then have the remaining plate turned until it will fit in the rotor, then bolt up, but to make a long story a little shorter, If I get the correct master than I have to turn the current 1 in on the core so when I wanted to convert to disc fronts, I would need to get another master cyl ( 35 bucks ), this way, it is only 16.99 and I can easily remove it when I go to disc brakes. if you want to check the kit out, it is www.scarebird.comOriginally posted by Dave Severson
