Lightbulb tech article needs review

I just finished with a "tech article/ how to" for installing disc brakes on a 57-64 f-100s with 2 wheel drive. Where do I post it to have it reviewed? I want honest feedback from those who have worked on one or in the industry. I haven't added pictures to it so I can post it on this forum if it warrents it / wish to read it. To be honest a lot of it is from my personal experiance working on my truck or from some of the sources of the parts. I know it isn't perfect so let me know who wants to go blind first.

Ok I sent emails to those that I can. I am digging up some of the missing info that is needed for misc hardware/parts. Let me know what you all think with the article so far. I will also post the same question to the 57-60 bubbas as well.

Well I sent a request through the "contact us" page to find out how to submit the article. Hopefully I will hear some good news on how to submit it. I added a bunch of pictures and had my wife proof read and check the format. She does this sort of thing at work but can't tell if the technical aspect is right. That is where I still need you guys to come in. I heard her laugh at the caution I added. So I guess that is a good thing.

Hi airharley.

I would like to read it.

I have a Friend ( Uncle Skip) who put disk brakes on his 1964 F-100 straight axle.

He might like to review it also.


Regards.


Richard.

I am interested in seeing this article also. I am working on a 63 F100 and am going to be going with disk brakes in the front. I can build my own brackets, I just need to know what bearings and other misc hardware I'll need. I look forward to reading this article.

Tony

I've received some good feedback so far. I am updating the article and will send it back out by the end of the week. I have to spend some time with the better half you know.
