Is there any machine work needed
in this process..
Finding most parts whont be that hard.
My question would be why 2 diff trucks for rotors
ford and international why not use just one for front to back..

I did get the brakes to bleed up and have they been working fine since. No problems. I put a locker in the front with new seals and bearings. Much easier to work on as opposed to drums. I am using stock MC. I found out why the truck was wrecked. Passenger wheel nut backed off, broke caliper bolts, and cracked the brake line. I have been to the Durhamtown Rally last 5 yrs with this truck and will be there again in October.

These brakes have a massive amount of machine work to the rotors and hubs on the front. As for the rear just open up the bolt pattern hole, no machine work. Please do not use disc brakes with wilwood calipers and rotors, for these are for 2,500 race cars.
