Rear Disk brake upgrade kit
I just finished the rear disk upgrade on my 67 F-100 with a kit from TSMMFG.com. My rear end is a dana 60 power lok semi float so I used kit # 2500-5 for the 9" inch ford rear end. I had to make some slight modifications to the bracket assembly so that it would slide over the outer axle tube and mount to the axle shaft assembly. I also purchased and installed new rear calipers, new master cylinder and a new combination valve for four wheel disk. Other than that it went well. I have attached some picture for everyone to see. Let me know if you have any questions. Oh yea, the brakes work great!!

Looks good,did they mention what caliper is used? I am contemplating building one for my 71,looks like they are using a RWD GM like early 80's Caddilac,does look good.

Re: Rear Disk brake upgrade kit
looks good, will be doing one on my D70 (F350) and thinking about the below as theres doesnt have spacers.

But looking more I think I like EGR better, I will need the new lug bolts (D70 reverse thread on one side currently) and comes as a whole package, TSMMFG doesnt list a D70.

Re: Rear Disk brake upgrade kit
Yes, you are correct about the calipers, they are from a 79-85 Eldorado. I went with tsmmfg due to the helpful attitude of the tech support guys when I was trying to find which upgrade kit to order.
