Hmmmmmmm that would sure save me some money and time which I don't have enough of either set aside for the panel. I'll someday do the 9" rear swap which will give me 69 F100 rear brakes (plenty of whoa) but in doing that I'll want to swap trannys, probably T5 that would require a custom driveshaft and as I'm finding out (V8 Volvo swap) is around $400 YIKES !
More thinking

Re: Huck brake thoughts
