FLANGE PATTERN!!!
Before you order any kit...ESPCIALLY the FRPP kit...carefully measure the axle flange bolt pattern!
NOT all those kits fit ALL the flange patterns!
Check & see what size bearing your axle SHAFT uses!
A LARGE bearing SHOULD be 3.15" o.d.

I am in the process of converting the front and rear of my '49 to discs. I ran into the problem Rocker Man mentioned with the measurements of the 9 inch. I bought the kit from Ford Racing but it's for the Torino 9 inch. I went with MasterPower brakes. I got the front and rear along with everything you will need. Good luck.
