Need help ID'ing Ford rear brakes

[Ghost's68]

Hey guys so I'm about to get ready to lower the truck again after installing the ECE drop kit, all new brake parts, and completely re-doing the front steering. I'm looking at the rear end brakes and would like to swap out the rotors and brakes since it's torn apart.

I have no idea where and what the Ford 9"rear end came from. Can some one help please. I'm going to try and do some research also but figured I would ask you guys as in sure I'll get quicker help. I wasn't able to measure a rotor since I ran out of time.

Here's some pics. Thanks

Looks like an aftermarket rotor of some sort and an early 80's Toronado rear caliper. Does the caliper have the parking brake integrated into it?

Im pretty sure this is a kit of some sort. I went out and looked at the calipers a bit more and the calipers are held on by a welded bracket attached to the tube. The welds are NOT factory.

They look like GM metric calipers. They were used on the front of mid-size gm cars. Just pop out the pads and match them at a parts store. If I remember they were used starting mid 80s.

X2 - they look GM, there should be casting #s on them, a competent parts guy (gal) can reference them

I believe the calipers won't be to hard to get brakes for. I'm really at a loss for the rotors. These appear to be a two peice design and need that hat part that bolt to the caliper as well as the tube flange?....

The rotors should be available at any race shop (not speed shop) that sells rotors to late model dirt or asphalt cars. They usually have 8 mounting bolts most of them are the same. You will need to know the diameter 11.75 or 12.19. And the thickness .75, 1.0 or 1.25. Slide the hats off, unbolt the rotor, assemble in reverse order. I would also use new grade 8 bolts and safety wire. It is not that big a deal.

Good luck.
