Big thanks for the Shout out! I appreciate it alot Craig! Keep up the great content!

When setting the front wheel bearings.. you are supposed to spin the rotor while tightening the nut, to the torque spec,ed then back the nut off 1/4 turn. This ensures the bearings seat properly.

Looks Great Disc Brakes Awesome. My First Vehicle a 62 Ford Pickup F100 Stepside. I was 16 it had a 292 V8 a 4 Speed and 4:11 Posie rear-end, I put 4 barrel manifold and carburetor, a Tach, Corvair Bucket Seats. the best sound system in the 70s. Installed Headphones plugged in the Dash. Chromed Defroster Vents. ash tray and glove box, Chrome Steelies rims Front and rear 15 inch wide the in rear Stainless 66 ford Hub caps. Loved that truck.

I am building a 1966 F100 with a 302 over on my channel, also dealing with valve train issues. Had some comunications with another 302 guy that said he drilled and pinned his rocker arm studs to keep them in place. Just thought I would mention that. Keep the videos comming.

I've been following you for a while now and love what you're doing. Just wanted to say, THANKS!!!! You lit a fire. At 40 years older than you I just picked up a 1977 F100 with a non running 351, no reverse, but no rust. Here we go again. LOL

Love your truck! It's been crazy seeing it progress from long tube headers to this!

Good to see it back on the ground! Probably my favorite youtube channel. Keep up the great work.

Love the videos Craig! Keep up the great work! Super stoked to see it all buttoned up! ✊🏼

Finally great truck content love the work you done

Not to point out the obvious, but I think you forgot the dust shield, its actually needed to protect the inner seal and bearing

Glad to see that bad boy is on the ground take care buddy

Been waiting for this! Can't wait to see the engine upgrades. Your truck should handle and drive sooo much better now!

I pulled the whole brake system out of my 68 last fall. All new stainless steel brake lines, four wheel disk now. Did my fronts sort of like you did. I just ordered spindles for a 73. And the went with all the upgrades. Cross drilled an vented rotors. Six piston calipers on the front, four piston on the rear. And the hp pads. I bought the kit for the rear.

Great video good to see it on the ground looks great 👍

Sweet truck enjoy the vids keep up the great work

Don't you have to change the master cylinder and residual valve as well..

The disc brakes conversion looks awesome!

Very nice, very clean, very impressive.........Now the rear end is crying for a disk brake conversion.

Your video is worth the wait, keep it up brother 😌

Looks awesome great work Craig

Awesome stuff Brother!

Great work man!

Omg one my favorite young dudes to watch. I love ur drive to repair ur old vehicles and drive them not trailer queens.

Coming along great man.

Ive been thinking about a disk conversion on my 76 F100. I wasnt real sure how to do that to begin with. Keep the good content

Looks real awesome dam that truck has came a long way..been watching your videos since you first bought it.. amazing what's transformation it's gone to before and after..keep up the good work

Looks good man

Great job 👍🏻 Awesome content as Always 😊💪🏼💯🇺🇸

Man she’s looking sweet!! Definitely want a 68/71 myself! Be a nice addition to my 01 7.3!!

Excellent video. Funny I ''m rebuilding the rearend of my 64 Galaxie right now.

Love the fact some young guys are still ding the old classics very cool videos and I'm sure your very supported by us older guys keep up the good work

floor jack rubber pad will help, trucks looking good bro

Can't wait to hear it fire up and go down the road

Man the truck is looking good

It's a little late now, but you should have drilled and tapped a drain plug for your rear end! Did it on my 74 F100 and it makes for a much cleaner gear change. Also gives you something to jack it up on. Just put a piece of 2x4 on Jack pad. Just a thought. Check out Lugnuts for a rear disc swap kit. Going to get a kit for my 77 F250 w/Dana 60, but they have good kits for the 9" rearend too.😊

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏

is there a reason you left off the backing plates or shields on front

Not gonna lie, the i beams and rear diff would look pretty badass with some pin striping 🤙

Good Gawd!!!! That slick though!!!!

Perfect stance with those wheels and tires for sure. Thinking about turning my 17 f150 5.0 into a lowered street truck. Currently leveled on 33s. Love the vids, i can only hope my channel grows like yours lol.

I like the stance on this truck, tires fit nicely filling in the gap like we see on stock trucks.

Awesome to see the truck on the ground again man, might have to try and make an RC replica of it one day and maybe he red galaxie maybe

Awesome video craig. I have a 74 long bed. Before I shipped it to myself where in the Uk my mechanic in Arkansas overhauled the breaks for me. Colour coding the callipers to. One question I have. I have 15/10 and 15/8 craigar ss wheels on it. I think it sits ok. But I would like better handling. Can I just put a set of coil overs on it. Would that give me a better ride. And handling. ?? Thanks mate keep them videos coming love seeing your progress. Thanks again

Like up my boys posts how generous and cool of him to build old cars and teach and even give part numbers on every vid he lets u know where to get stuff. if I had a 2wd or saw these years ago pry save a lot of my time and money by copying his vids for some portions of my 78 , love watching ur vids even though we don’t have similar stuff I love to learn more !! Keep up the grind and one day u can restore other people’s cars 🤟🏽 that’d be a dream for me haha

Did all this to my 68 F100. Put a Lincoln Continental 4V V8 in it too. Carbed with MSD box. Yes a front wheel drive engine bolted to a C4 trans.

Brother, your truck is looking MEAN! Love the new cooper cobra look. Can you please tell me the size of your new tires? Keep up the amazing transformation. A Big hug from Puerto Rico.

You have come a long ways Craig. I have to say that I pulled my hair out a few times but your on it now. You know more about camshafts than I do so single plane manifolds might just be the ticket for you. I felt like it compromised brake vacuum and so didn't care for that single plane but things do change an your way ahead of me there. good luck as its been frustrating for you for sure

Sean is straight ripping that vape when you were installing the 3rd member 🤣

Great video@

easiest way and best way to replace the cap without ever damaging them is a half inch socket that goes over it and covers the edges then just tap it in.

Thanks Craig

Would love to see more of Franklins truck

The copper is a really kick ass touch. Separates from the black underbody and compliments the patina

So much content I love it

The one clip of the rear axle it look red as can be. At other angles it's copper, is it a color flip pearl in the paint? I'm about to completely tear my 79 apart, pull the cab off and begin the full body restoration while I get the block and heads machined and prepped for rebuild. Gotta also finish the basement! ugh, I'd rather be working on the truck!

Love this truck

Man I just ordered wilwood disc brake kit for my f100 I’m so ready

Why did you not re-install the dust shields?

how's the drum at that much HP ? i dont find any conversion kit for my ram w100 and wanted to swap something strong also.. wondering if it was not that bad

Did you change the brake master because drum brake masters hold pressure so your brakes will drag in the front

Mannnnnn I just told William, Greaserthoughts, that I was getting the shakes from Craig/Fred/Greaserthoughts withdrawals!!!! So glad y’all posted today! Maybe it’ll give me some drive to work on my junk tomorrow! Bought a Weber/edelbrock carb at scrapyard yesterday n a buddy of mine started stripping a gold duster for his dart project!

I did the same swap on my 67. Did your 15x8 with 3” backspace wheels clear the calipers?

Is the king pin diameter different on the disk brake conversion

I’m about to do the disc swap on my ‘69, I’d love to see how you tackle the master cylinder and proportioning valve.

What tire size are u running

All very cool, but I had to miss something- I saw the disk brakes go on but didn’t see any brake hoses or tie rods etc. Then it was back on the ground and the wrap up was talking about fixing the engine rocker problem?

Im loving that color

Where did you get the front end at and how much plz

Back in the seventies we used to paint our rear ends fluorescent orange and other bright colors because we had our cars jacked up and you can see our rear end from any angle... hahaha

KooL Thanx 4 tha vids.

What about the screw in rocker studs, did you buy some?

Greetings Craig. I have a question. I noticed the u bolts holding the differential to the leaf springs have a bit of an excess in length, are you going to trim those off at some point? Love the content brother! Thank you..

those rims are sick

Haven’t seen it for a bit so I must ask. What’s up with the cv chassis?

Ok I have a 71 f100 and I’ve installed DJM ibeams on it. I’m wanting to swap it over to disc brakes. I have a 75-79 disc brake setup from a donor truck. Will my DJM ibeams work with the 75-79 spindles or will I need new DJM ibeams for the 75-79 spindles?

What did you do for the master cylinder?

Are the I beams different on the 73

You went to all the trouble painting the axle tube. You should have also painted the pumpkin.

Dude that’s awesome!!! Love your channel! It’s inspiring me to get off my butt and do something with my 78 f100. You still check your P.O. Box! Rad!! Sending you something tomorrow!

Hi Craig you must have good neighbours to put up with all the work you do on trucks and cars

That’s an awesome setup. What wheels are those? Kick ass truck.

Looks nice, but you forgot to install the brake backing plates.

What size are your wheels n tires they look dope af

Nice 👍

Since you didn't set the pinion angle with the truck sitting on all 4 tires with the full weight of the truck you might want to check that again to make sure the rear end is 3 degrees lower than the transmissions angle. Can't wait to see the new heads with screw in studs, that should finish everything up.

GREAT JOB CRAIGGY FROM YOUR PAL THE VERMONSTER

Hi so I have a 69 f100 with drums and I would like to go to disc? Would this work for my truck? Finding a set of spindles and breaks from a 70f100?

It would have been nice to have gone with disc brakes on the rear too.... Also you should look into a later Fox body style master cylinder. They make multiple bore sizes and they look great under the hood!! They work great as well.

I love how in the montage you just had to do the galaxy dirty 😂🖕🏻

i converted my 69 ranger to pwr steering. it will not self center. when the truck is sitting still you can just get the steering wheel started and it will go until it bottoms out by itself. any suggestions

Nice , hey wanna come too Canada and do same to my F100 🤔 lol

I like your snow

To install a dust cap on brakes just get a big ass socket or piece of pipe that fits over it and sits on the rim and then hammer it in straight. Don't do what you are doing here.. You want it to go in flush and not distort. Also when tightening your castle nut on discs you should be spinning the disc while tightening it and then just tighten it until there's some drag on it. (Yes I actually took auto shop and paid attention, despite what my asshole instructor said.. not too mention I've been watching car shows on tv for 30 years now)

Dang that truck is comin together Graig!!!! Way better than those two foul mouthed girlfriends you got named Galaxie!

Hey Craig, can you do the knuckle and disc brake swap with a 3/4 ton?

thank god you ended up using new rotors/hubs. I was cringing when you said you were going to reuse the old ones haha

Your oriellys does resurface? I don't even bother trying to resurface. They always turn it down and say it's to thin

What’s a good cheap way to put disk brakes on the back

You can make the break line yourself Out of stateless steel Or get the gold brake line

What wheels are those and where did you get them??
