1976 F100 Dana 44 Question

[2000F150SAS]

I just picked up a 1976 F100 Dana 44 front rear and it has drum brakes, how hard is it to swap to disk brakes? Cost for this +/-?

Thanks, John

You can do the popular "Chevy" conversion really cheap.

Or you can swap the knuckles out from a '77-79 Ford D44.

You will probably also want to upgrade to the F250 "camper special" master cylinder. It makes you work a little less when running big tires.

This rear will be going into a 2000 F150.

So i have to swap the whole knuckle to run disc brakes (just the knuckle)? I guess the caliber bracket is on the knuckle?

Thanks, John

If you use the '77-79 Ford knuckles, I believe the brackets are cast on the knuckle. Then you need the spindle that the rotor/hub rides on and holds the axle in. And of coarse the rotor/hub, caliper, and hoses.
