Looking at the calipers, a bolt on upgrade you may not know about is using 75-78 t-bird calipers the piston is 3/8" bigger which gives you oh most the same square inches as the dual piston 3/4 ton calipers. The only difference is the bolt that holds the brake hose on is bigger , but easy to buy. The T-bird uses a screw on hose apposed to the bolt on hose as the stock truck uses so those have to be bought separate. I know this works on the 4 wheel drive 1/2 ton trucks from this era so I would double check if 2 wheel and 4 wheel use the same calipers. Other wise if not never mind.

@williamford6142 4 жыл бұрын

Nuther good un Cuz...@ 16 min may note that the bolt is a special one that has a taper to allow the clip to "float" preventing the caliper from binding. Also if you are reusing the old bearings, when/if you clean them with solvent... DO NOT spin them with an air hose, very dangerous, they may come apart, OK to use air to clean/ dry them, just don't let them spin when doing it. Oh, another thing, put some black on the arms.

Question. I have done this and had to redo it a few times because there is a horrendous scraping coming from my front passenger wheel area only when the wheel is spinning. I have redone the bearings many times, replaced every brake items. I always notice when I put the spring and retainer in, that after it's all tightened down I cannot get the rotor to spin well, it is super tough to spin. But if I take the retainer and spring out it spins well. I'm not sure what to do
