Im ready to get rid of my old drum brakes on the front and replace with discs. Not looking to spend a pile of money, and Im looking for a bolt right up setup. Anyone care to share their ideas?

Link didn't show up.
My rotors are 2.8" high and they touch the caliper bracket. AZ part #5109 is listed as 56mm or 2.2" high. Pricey. Tried Ford and Dodge rotors and spindles, outer shafts would not line up U-joint with kingpin. Currently looking at newer Dodge rotors to fit over flange, not behind it.Last edited by lkmarsh; 01-13-2010, 07:23 AM.Lyle
Seemed like a good idea at the time...

are you going to just swap the outers, or the whole D44?1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

No, I think I will just go with the outers and keep the original axle and bolt pattern.78 Wagoneer, 401, Turbo400, QT, Posi Rear, 4" lift, 33X10.5 BFG

Master??
The article doesn't mention a front disc master cylinder upgrade. I'm considering using a '74-'80 I think J-truck piece for my '69 upgrade, requiring converting to a pedal mounted brake switch. Does this sound right???--Dan

I would think a master from a later model (mid 70's) FSJ with disc brakes would work fine for your app.
Do you have manual or power brakes right now?
Also, you don't need to use a pedal mounted switch. You can plumb in a hydraulic switch in the brake lines and re-use your original plug.Thomas Russell

That switch you see on your newer brake pedal isnt a brake switch, its the kick down for the TH400. common mistake.1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"
