No, but I believe Currie Enterprises will custom drill a set of their Explorer replacements.

Dug these links out of a folder. See post #10.

I to have a 1990 F150 and also have a 2000 model rear end complete. Has anyone tried at all to use these rear disc brakes opposed to the explorers?

Sorry, I've have seen no mention of post 97 adaptations of RDBs.

i bought a set of Rear discs off a 99 F150, to swap on to my 95. I was sadly mistaken when i found out that they changed the flange on the 8.8's after 1996.

no, they wont work, unless you want to rework the flange. the Explorer/crown vic setup will work, and Currie makes rotors to fit and that clear our larger axle hub.
