Newcomer: Opinions on rear disc brakes

[ronh72c10]

Wow! Quick responses, I guess I'm not the only one who should be working.

jays68yak Re: the Deville rotors, so it sounds like I should be able to get everything I need from a Deville. Did you use the Firebird parts because that was what you could get or because they fit better?

As far as pricey junkyard parts goes, since it'll be a while before I need the parts I'm hoping that the father of a friend will be able to scrounge me up a deville, he has incredible luck finding junkers for nothing. The laugh was a local salvage yard called him once to see if he had a Taurus tranny amoung his collection! He does have an 80? Eldorado sitting in his yard, anything salvageable from that?

dubie: When I bought it I actually intended to replace the flatdeck with a standard longbox, but after some thought I decided to build a Goliath flatbed for it. The old one was mostly wood and has rotted away.

The truck itself is pretty much as basic as they can get, 3 on the tree, 250 straight six, no chrome(well nearly none), no gauges, no ps, no pb, no radio (although someone added one, but I still have the blank-out panel) no cigarette lighter, no door switches for the dome light, hmmm oh well if there's anything I forgot assume it doesn't have it. Except rust, the floor and the frame are pretty much gone, I picked up a 68 California frame for it last week that's solid, I was amazed it still has some of the chassis black on it.

Long post, I'll shut my hole,
