'89 F150 Big brakes? Any kits available?
Anybody know who deals in brake kits for off center stuff like an 89 F150 2wd? I am not opposed to changing lug patterns either. Just looking for a way to get some good brakes under this thing.

Supa cheapo method - F350 brakes, except for the whole 8-lug part. SRW would be better than DRW brakes.

I've seen several 8 to 5-lug conversions done for Early Bronco applications running one-ton running gear, but it involves welding in holes and remachining rotors.
