The last guy i sold my large disc brakes to ( front only ) installed them on his M35A2 and sent me an email, and i quote " my brakes now are 200% better than before", thanks.

Yes it is a lot of questions, that is why i only sold complete front and rear disc brakes in kit form. But after 16 years of 2 1 /2 ton Rockwell axles i have discontinued all Rockwell axles and related parts.

Disc brakes on the M135 will be a big challenge. Rotors on the hubs will be easy, it is the rest of it. I have no proportion valve in my truck.

Thanks, when you first asked me about disc brakes and i said i could make larger disc brakes for your bobbed truck and the 6X6 trucks. And we talked about the the stock master cylinder and you used the hydro boost system from the dodge truck witch is a great setup. The basic is - the 1949, M35A1...

OK, just take a deep breath and step away from the keyboard.

Tests have been preformed on the dual circuit 2 1/2 ton brake system with a pressure gague in the brake line. Panic stop will generate 1,800 PSI, this the working pressure for disc brakes.

Not sure witch pic you are looking at, I make everything in all the pic's i posted in this thread.

I use F550 calipers, 4x4 has 8 pistons 2 1/2" bore ea. master cyl. with 1 3/8" bore, pedal travel 1/4".

No sir, disc brake calipers do have larger bores BUT only need to travel .010 to .015 thousands of an inch for lockup.

I have been using the timken 3926 for 14 years with my brakes.

None of the FDS front parts interchange with the rockwell top load. The rotors for the FDS fronts have been obsolete.

Rear hub out, bolt on or weld on.

I should have done it step by step. First pic with a rose bud to 1,600 degress and then put the hardening powder on the hot spot. It welts into steel about 1/16 of an inch and place in cool water at about 1,100 degress. The pic of the bracket is after it came out of the bucket of water case...

The very first disk brake brackets ( kits) i made 11 years ago up to today are the same. To the statments i made on case hard is for the people who copy my brake setup do not case hard their bottom bracket. The bottom cap is about 55 rockwell scale C, the case hard i do is 60 to 64, the same as...

I do not understand the question.

The 1999 up f350 caliper is made to fit a 13" rotor not a 15" rotor, i do use this caliper on the 15" rotor but the frame of the caliper is modified to fit. As for the bottom bracket, the most important thing is that the weight of truck is pushing down on the bottom king pin and A36 steel will...
