77" front end rebuild advice
Well this might belong somewhere else but involves suspension, brakes and steering.
I finally started my project to install 3" drop "I" beams and soften things up a little. As usual one thing leads to another. Any recomendations on the highest quality calipers, pads and rotors for the front brakes. I am also suspect of my steering knuckles (spindles?). They fit the king pin tight (replacing that anyway) but they look like the bearing races might have been rotating on the seat. Anyone know the measurements for the seats on the spindle or if that's an unusual problem? How about a source/price for the knuckles? I'm glad I bought those 12 tons jack stands!
1977 Ford F-100
400m/c6/4:11/Gear Vender O.D.
Crane hydralic roller, forged, ported polished,Deamon,Edlebrock, yada, yada, yada

modified/rebuilt everything
