Brake Job Preperation

Hi Gents:

I need to thow a set of front pads in my '88 F150 4x4. It has manual locking hubs, and non limited slip front axle. C6 transmission if it's important. I can't remember if the front rotors are floating on this truck or not. Can someone jog my memory?

Thanks!

Na, the rotors and hub/bearing should be all 1 peice. Just make sure to grease everything up with either brake grease or antiseize.

Well, with 210,000 miles on my truck, I guess now would be a good time to change wheel bearings at the same time.

I'm thinking about ordering this stuff from LMC truck parts. Anyone dealt with them before? Are they pretty good? From what I've seen in their catalog, it looks like you could darn near build a whole truck from all the stuff that they have available!

I always deal with LMC...gotten a majority of addons from them as well...good servie decent prices and hasty shipping.....I looked through NPD at one point but didn't like the setup of their products(I'm an idiot and I couldn't find anything)....LMC is THE resto catalog for Fords......
