Brakes for a 1957-1960 F100-- cont'......


There are several identical kits offered for Front Disc brake conversion for the 57-60 F100.
Again-- I did the numbers and unless you make less than $20.00 a week at your regular job, it's not worth your time to price out and purchase the parts individually.
And that's if you even know what they are.



Anyhow- here's what you get for about $400:
1) Rotors// for a 1983-1993 F-150 2WD truck- 12.0" diameter
2) Calipers //for a '71-'76 General motors "Big Car" platform (Impala, Delta, Catalina, etc)
3) Caliper Adaptor Plates ( allow mounting to stock spindles) with all mounting hardware
4) Adaptive Bearings and hardware that allow mounting of rotors on stock spindles
5) Brake Hoses
6) Brake Pads

* This kits retains the factory 5x5.5" bolt pattern





Master Power, Performance Online, and No Limit engineering all make identical kits for close to the same price. I think "No Limits" is the cheapest.

Mine is on order from Performance Online and should be here soon-- photos to follow.
