9" Disc brake conversion

I did alot of research looking for the right kit, and something simple. This was relativly cheap, and worked out great. :rockon

Start by removing all drum brake assembly. Pull axleshaft and remove backing plate.

I replaced axle seals and bearings while I was there.

Here's the parts you need.
GM Monte Carlo Calipers, pads,and hoses (1973-77 big body cars)
Ford F-150 Rotors
Allstate weld on caliper brackets
Also need to have the edges of the axle flange milled down so the rotors will slide over them.

This is the weld on caliper bracket


The axle with everything removed, note the shiny edge of the axle where it was milled approx .125 around the edge. (My friend has moser shafts and did not have to have this done on his)


With the axles milled the F-150 front rotors slid right on. I used 1977-79 front rotors.


The weld on bracket behind the rotor.


Putting the calipers in the brackets.



Test fitting everthing together.


All thats left is to tack it, pull the caliper and rotor off, and weld it. Then paint it, and cut and flare the brake lines to fit with the new rubber hoses. Right now its time for a brew :drinkbud

Here's my part #'s for the GM calipers, brake pads, and hoses.
