69 Ranger brakes
To WillyB,The 69 Ranger came with power steering, so will I have the truck down I am putting a new pump and either rebuild the steering unit or swap out with rebuilt one. Also I am putting American Raceing OUTLAW WHEELS ON IT.
TO SIX NINER, You say you used a 74 model is there any specail model like a Ranger or xlt that I need to look for? I also think I am going with polyurethane bushings. Do you know of any place to get a kit? Like LMC,NPD?

To 4CAMMER72,Thanks for the info.Does this company have a webb site? How did you contact them also do you order the parts for the 69 or the year model you are using as a parts truck?

According to my Chilton's, the king pin angle changed on various models. On my '70, I took everything off one donor truck, a '76. Stock wheels fit the disc brakes fine. I roamed the junkyard w/ calipers to get a pair of discs w/ life in 'em. I replaced all the rubber bushings; now she goes down the road in a straight line!

yes they do have a site and to get to it put a www in front of performancesuspension and a . followed by a com. sorry for spreadin it out but the web address would be wiped out if it was all together. you will have to order by phone though . they do have a toll free number. i bought the parts for the year truck that the parts came from. i used a 79 front end on a 72 the kit was for a 79. if your interested i have a few pics of my suspension in my gallery. good luck

69 Ranger brakes
qman,Thank you for the advice.The article is top notch.Do you know of a way to move the gas tank to the bed and it look factory? I want to gain some cab room and get the gas smell out of the cab. Also when I put the new engine in my 69 I need to run an electric fuel pump any help would be great.
