More on brakes for a F250 with a straight axle.

Post by Unibodyguy1 »

I know if I had F100 pickups insted of F250's this would be an easy thing to do, but what I'd like to know, has anyone ever did a disk brake conversion for a F250 with a straight axle. Both my 61 Uni's are 250's and wouldn't mind keeping them that way with the 8 lug wheels. Other than a dual master cyl. I'm pretty limited to what I can do for upgrades. Anyone have any thoughts, or suggestions?

Did a search and found that this topic was discussed recently. I don't know if we ever got closure.....

Thanks Bit
