So I just bought a project 1969 F100 Ranger LWB 2WD automatic, PS PB. The PO had gone through the rear end, and upgraded to a Yukon Grizzly posi unit, and 31 spline axles. When he did, he went with some aftermarket chromoly axles, with the smaller passenger car 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern.
My question is, does anyone know of a factory parts sourced conversion to run passenger car front discs, with the same 5 on 4 1/2" pattern? I know I can lay down some serious coin for an aftermarket kit, but I need to upgrade a lot of items on the truck, and don't want to spend $1000+ on a front discs conversion.
Thank You,
Dave

1980- 82 ? F100 ,(not F150 ) used a smaller car pattern, maybe you can check the specs and adapt them.?

Re-drill the front disc rotors to 5x4-1/2 and turn down the hub which should be cheaper than tracking down/adopting different parts.
