Hi,

I'm new to the forums and need some help. I have a 1954 F-250 that has received a front disc conversion. Unfortunately it was also converted to 5 lug, only up front.

I want to convert it back to 8 lug, however cannot find anyone selling these hubs. I have already located an 8 lug disc brake conversion, but it requires the original hubs.

Any ideas?

 

are these the brakes you found?
Ford F2 & F3

I remember another guy that was thinking of going down to the 5 lug from the 8, worth a shot, here's the thread

there is also this option . . .

F-2/F-3 Front Disc Brake Conversion

This is all the info i have found on front disc brakes, I have a set from the street rod mfg, not installed yet.

Could try calling them up and see if they know of an alternative.

 

Yes, those are the brakes. It seems to be the most straight forward way to go.

Thanks for the input.

I posted on the thread you mentioned. Hopefully he'll sell them to me.

I want to avoid any custom machine shop work in order to not have my truck apart for a long time.

Hopefully some others may know a bone yard that has these parts?

 

Were in FL are you? I may have a set, I parted out a '53 F250

 

TBAA-1104-A .. Front Hub / 1953/56 F250 / Obsolete ~ No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Try Early Ford Store in San Dimas CA, they have TONS of used parts (earlyfordstore.com)

 

Hi,

I'm in Jensen Beach.

If you can find them you will be a big help.

Let me know.

Thanks!

 

Thanks! I sent an email to them.

 

I do have the F-250 hubs, still on an axle.
What is the bolt pattern that you have now? Stock F100 = 5 on 5.5".
I am thinking of a possible trade?

 

They are GM 5 X 5"

I have to pull the wheel off and look at the spindles. If they were modified I may want to buy those from you as well.....

 

I have a pair of 54 f250 hubs 8 bolt w.bearings good cond.$25.00 just hate to see these old parts scraped.I know shipping cost more than the parts,I am in upstate N.Y. but will be in Arcadia FLA. in a couple of weeks,if I can help let me know.

 

May I have your email? I would like to try to get these from you. Thanks!
