front disc brakes
Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2017 12:39 pm
I am just sand blasting and painting the frame on my 1970 d100 full restoration project. I am now debating when I rebuild the front end, do I go to front discs on the truck. I have read some threads on the full power disc kits, as well as doing the scare bird version.
I am trying to keep the costs reasonable but want the brakes to be as good as possible; can anyone that has done these conversions and then driven them for a while chime in and give me opinions on which way to go?
I am also curious just how much cheaper the scare bird conversion is over a kit; I haven't yet priced out the Ford and GM parts to do the full conversion.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!
