9'' Disc Brake Question
I've done the searching and looked around for about two days. 
All i can find are references to Dana 60 disc conversion. I'm thinking about doing this to my ford 9''. Has anyone done this? I would love to see some pictures. I've looked at several kits on ebay, one from Broncograveyard, and one from a site that i can't recall at the moment. Any info would be wonderful as the whole rearend is torn apart right now, and what better time than that to spend some more money.

This list I compiled may help you. I've been having trouble finding these vehicles still in the boneyards around here. I'm not sure how much of it is correct either. Good luck. http://webpages.charter.net/theskes/...c%20brakes.rtf

I converted mine to disc a while back, using rotors off a 4x4 front end. Works great but there's no provision for a parking brake.

rear disc
Hi i used the stainless steal rear disc brake setup on my 9 in rear. It was a nice kit except that they use these small round shims to center the disc on the studs the holes are drilled for a larger stud and i had to use washers to shim the caliper to stand distance. For the kind of money i spent on it i thought it should have been engineered a little better. Other than that they work very well and they have e brakes on them. chuck
