Rear Disk brake upgrade kit

Post by 67fordkc »

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!! :D

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.

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.

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.
