Brakes for Ford 9"
Hey guys!! I am in the prosses of installing a Ford 9" in my 62 Bel Air. When I got the rear end the brakes were missing from one side and the drum was busted on the other. So I was wondering what would be my best bet (and cheapest), Disks or Drums? The rear end is out of a 77 pickup with the big bearing ends. Another problem is the "stub" in the center of the axle flange is bigger than the hole in the center of my wheels, so I will probably have to turn that down, but doesnt that center up the drum or rotor??? I was have heard about Explorer rear disks, is this a simple swap? will this work with my rear? I have a freind who has the whole rear disk setup off of an older lincoln with a 9", would that work? Or should I just try to find a drum setup off another rear?? Are disks really worth the hassell?? If I do switch to rear disks I will have to switch the front as well, but I have been planing on that anyway. Anyone have any good and cheap Ideas????
