Kinda Different

Hello All !! Cool site!!! As you can tell by the name Im Im not partial to one make of vehicle. If its got A wheel on it, im into it.
Anyway I thought someone could shed some light on a little problem I have with a Ford. I have a 1972 Glasic Modle A Roadster Replicar. A company in West Palm Beach Fl made them for a few years. They first started putting fiberglass bodies on International frames with 4 cly International motors. But in The early 70s they struck a deal with Ford to use all ford parts with the exception of the frame and body. The cars then came with 302s with a C4,and a slew a other parts from differnt fords of that era. And as long as the cars past all saftey standards and emssion test, they could be sold as New Fords in Ford Dealerships(which the first few didnt pass and had to recalled .
I have a 1972 Ford Glassic Roadster.The front end is a leaf spring set up with a straight axle. It has spindles from a E-100 econoline van with drum brakes. I want to convert to disc brakes. So I need to know if there is a spindel that you can put on a early 70s e100 van that allows you to use a disc brake set up?
Thanks Darrell

Hello Darrell and Welcome to the site!

Yes, I think we can help. You will want to post your question in the tech forums since this one is used for introductions. Click on the Forums tab at the upper left and check out all of our forums. Several cater to specific engines, transmission, or models. I suggest trying this one first: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum128/

Good luck!
