How do you determine who's disc brake conversion you have?
This truck has 4 wheel disc brakes. I am unable to find the owner that put all of this together to drag race with. This truck needs new rotors but I cannot determine what year , make and model of vehicle they came off of or if this is a conversion kit. 9" narrowed Ford rear end and rotors as well as calipers are stamped Ford.
I am starting to think I need to go buy another kit so "I" know what the heck is in this truck.

Caliper and bracket pictures for ID?
I cannot find a new caliper bracket or caliper that looks like this.
Center to center holes on caliper bracket is 7 3/4"
Pads are 2" wide and 6" long
Single piston caliper stamped FORD and it is all one piece
The only way to remove the caliper bracket from the axle is to either cut it off or remove the bearing on the axle and slide the bracket off.

Old Calipers, new pads and new rotors. Rotors won't fit!
I am not done with the brakes yet. I got side tracked finding and installing a new 3rd member and now back to the brakes.
What I have for rear disc brakes:
"old" Calipers and new pads are 77 to 80 Lincoln Versailles and the new rotors I bought and drilled are 78 Lincoln Mark V.
I rented a tool from Autozone and attempted to screw the piston in. It would not budge so it's either froze or already bottomed out. With new pads installed and the piston fully seated I cannot get the new rotors to slide between the pads on either side.
