Thread: installing front disc brakes

Tweet

wondering if anyone ever put front disc brakes on a 56 ford. there are kits out there, but i am not looking to spend a 1000.00 bucks. seems everything is cheap for chevs, expensive for fords? there must be some direction to go without spending a fortune. thanks

This should give you all the info you need,( http://www.y-blocksforever.com/phpbb...1941&view=next ) about 5 pages of info all ya need to do is head to Pic-N-Pull! Good Luck!!

Here's a Nova drum to disc conversion using old parts.
Cutting the old drum spindle boss off allows a disc setup to bolt on.

You could do something similar???

You can use 75-80 Granada/Monarch/Versailles brakes on your 56. Mostly a bolt in. Uses the G/M/V spindles and brake assemblies. The Granada and Monarch spindles need some slight mods in the lower ball joint hole, I understand the Versailles do not need it.

Thanks For The Info On The Brakes. Kinda Hard Finding Those Cars In The Bone Yards Around Here Though. Thanks Again
