Chris must be out pulling his Polara! A few bucks and time would fix his brakes but he wants to go disc. My question would be why? For now anyway. Several of my yard buggies have NO brakes.
Here's the thing about this whole drum to disc thing. First, I have everything, brand new except for the A body spindles already from my dart. I'm not using those now because of the Gerst suspension and the brakes it came with. So the stuff, new master cylinder, new pads, rotors, calibers, hoses and dust shields along with new wheel bearings are sitting in a box collecting dust. Spindles run about 100 bucks on here when they pop up. so at most, I'd have 100 bucks in them. To rebuild the front drums with all new parts. It'd cost me 230 bucks plus shipping from rock auto. So I may as well use what I have already on hand, just spend the 100-150 for spindles and have upgraded brakes while saving a few bucks. Bolt pattern is the same, both 5x4.5 so the wheels work either way.
Now that's front only, the rear will stay drum and be rebuilt as I'd have to convert the axle from the tapered axles to a post 66 axle which means close to a grand or more. So the drums win out back as the cost for the rear stuff is about 150 bucks. plus the new parking brake cable which i'll have to source.
