[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 293320, member: 4983"] Its getting closer to hitting the trails everyday. Still gotta pick up the nickel and dime parts that kill budgets everytime. Gotta get some 1/2 ton Chevy brake calipers for my 9" ford disc brake swap. The 9" i got needed brake shoes, wheel cylinders and at least one new drum, and the hard line that goes to the wheel cylinders was missing, I figured by the time I bought all the parts to get te drum brakes functional I could have bought the parts to do a disc swap so I bought a set of front rotors and wheel studs for a 1979 f150 4x4. I slipped the axles out and stid the rotors on the back side of the axle shafts. I then put one washer on each front wheel stud and drove them through the rotor into the axle... Mounting discs to the 9" done. I bought some front brake lines for a S10 to use for flex lines and some caliper brackets. Just waiting on a chance to go junkyarding for calipers to finish up. I work midnight shift so I rarely have time to drive an hour to Birmingham to visit the Pull-a-part to get parts so I jump around working on different things till I have a good list of parts I need before I make a Junkyard run. I was gonna go this weekend, but I drove my F250 for the first time in a month or so. First time I hit the brakes, I almost took a ride through the ditch. Pulled the front brakes apart to see what was wrong and found this [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/24/qurujeza.jpg[/IMG] Yeah its got the Phenolic pisons and no I dont know where the rest of the piston is. So looks like I'll be buyin some brake calipers for the F250 first. [/QUOTE]
