Rear Disc Conversion
I am looking for a rear disc brake conversion for my 95 F250HD 4X4, I would like to retain my 8 on 6.5 wheel pattern and my 10.25 axle. I also need to have a E-brake to remain street legal. I have noticed some late model vans have rear discs, could these parts be used to do this?

Welcome to FTE
The 1999 (I deal with F450 do I'm not sure when changed)up trucks went to metric bolt pattern but if the rear axle flang is same and you get rotors redrilled . You could probably put part from one to other. I don't know about the presure needed to use rear disc brakes you will probably have to swap out proportioning valve for what ever the donor has. Good luck

I am very interested in this as well. The van will work, but it's pricey and you have to change spring and shock mounts.
I'm interested in using van parts to bolt onto the 10.25 axle. It would involve a custom plate, but that's all.
