I'm in the process of a SAS on my 92 f150. I got to thinking while I'm at it I might as well rebuild the rear 8.8 just to be safe. I hate the drum brakes on it and would really like to convert it to a disc brake setup. I know its possible I just have no idea even how to begin. Anyone ever done this? Or have any ideas how to do it? Any bit helps. Thks

 

this might help you some http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-...ake-conv-.html

 

Hmm thts funny I "live" on tht site and never seen tht kit. Thnks! But any idea how I would make the ebrake work? It says I need additional linkages and whatnot...this is new to me so I have no idea what they mean

 

i honestly have no clue but i'm sure someone else here might know a thing or two about it

 

unless you can find a car in a salvage yard the 79-85 El Dorado, Riviera, or Tornado the ebrake hardware is un findable,

that is the same caliber harware i need to turn my sterling axle into a disk, and i called all the salgave yards within 200 mile to no avail

 

Thts no good. Here in PA we need the e-brake for inspection. Can you maybe tell me exactly wht parts I need to pull off incase I find one of these cars? Or stumble upon the part online? Thks

 

Why not hit the junk yard for a newer diff out of an f150 or an exploder. They all still had 88s and had factory discs.

 

Thts not a half bad idea. Is the 8.8 from a newer f150 the same size as my 92? Length wise and where the springs and things sit? The only other problem I see with tht is different lug patttern thn. But wheel adapters would fix that.

 

By newer I mean 97 98...around there. I couldn't tell you If they'd be the same width but the leafs will bolt up the same. Worth looking into, lots more parts availible and no searching junk yards for unfindable parts.

 

Yea I figured it was thm yrs. I will have to check into tht to see how the widths are on the 2. Unless someone on here knows?
