I made all of my 2 1/2 ton disc brake kits for 16 years. Those pic's were the very last set I did. There will be no more.

Not sure what the big deal is, one front and two rear axles. But this was 12 years ago.

 

[66m35a26x6]

Nobody out here has it
all 4x4s only
dont know why
just figured i do it
tired of drums

 

[66m35a26x6]

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.

 

[66m35a26x6]

awsome thats what i wanted to here.
And your truck is a 6x6
full disc conversion front to back

any pics of the disc set/up

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.

 

[66m35a26x6]

no i have plans to use the f550 calipers
or is there anything better than these to use.

 

[66m35a26x6]

napa part # up85863 out of stock on back order
and they dont know how long..
i dont see whats the prob or if any at all to
just run the 94 ford f700 disc rotor"s in the rear too..
any info on that would help!

 

[66m35a26x6]

Is anyone doin disc conversion anymore
boyce equipment.//gearhart engineering..
They make them

 

[keithc]

Yes, Full 6x6 disc brakes. I removed the bed yesterday to install rear lockers. I will be working on it again thurs and will be able to get read good pics with bed removed.

 

[66m35a26x6]

Getting ready to do mine as well
just trying piece all the parts i need for the conversion
those pics
would be great to see
try to get shots behind the rotors
hopfully your hubs arent flipped like
they do the 4x4"s
thanks for getting back

[steve6x6x6]

You can get rockwell rotors for the B700 and F700 from Autozone. Duralast rotors with PN# 5483, 15.375" OD.

 

[66m35a26x6]
