Hello, folks. Been a while~! I have a 2000 Sierra 4 wheel disc truck that blew a brake line. My son is doing the work (he's built many rods, and I'm not physically capable) and after inspection, decided the best route to go is to remove the ABS stuff and replumb the brakes. So, he's all brand...

Does anyone know what year Mustang spindles and disc brakes will bolt up on a '67 Fairlane?

I have a 1964 Studebaker Commander that originally came with drum brakes all around. I have replace the front drums with a disc conversion kit that I found. In doing so I also put in a new master cylinder and a proportioning valve for the rear brakes. The car has a hill holder unit in it...

Hi all! :welcome: I've got a 1928 Dodge Roadster with a '36 Plymouth front axle and a '55 Ford rear 9" that I'd like to convert from drums to disk brakes. The 9" kits are easy enough to find, the '36 Plymouth is another story. This is the closest thing I can find: 1935-54 Mopar Truck &...

A little while back, I noticed that out of now where my brakes lost most of their efficiency, i had to pump them 2-3 times to stop in a reasonable distance. I checked the fluid and it was a little low in the back, larger part of the master cylinder. The vehicle is a 1974 gran torino 4dr with...

Hey experts, I'm trying to correct some poor planning on my part. My project has been underway for some years (see tc33s Journal). When I planned this out I collected parts, as the budget would allow. I'm thinking my choice of rotor sizes was wrong. What I have right now 17" front wheels, 20"...

The brakes on my 74 chevy k20 have 0 brake pressure. Im sure air got into the lines and ill have to bleed the brakes but where could the leak be? This problem didn't develop over a period of time. My dad borrowed my truck one day and said he had no brakes at all. I drove it and there is no...

Hey folks, Its been a while since ive been on here but after getting the old truck ready for the season I defiantly need some ideas. I have a 62 GMC with a ls swap and a th400 that is having some brake issues, or lack of brakes. The front calipers are 79 chevy truck calipers with newer pads...

I installed the disc brakes from a Dodge Aspen to my 66 Belvedere and that was pretty simple... I did replace all hardware,, shoes pads and drums along with a power brake and booster that is re-manufactured. The proportioning valve was used from the donor car.I left it sitting for a few months...

So I have a problem. My brakes are all screwed and I don’t know why. Well maybe I do, but I’d like a little help here. As of right now I’m running on just the front drums (with each drum getting its own M/C chamber) because when I had it set up originally (which was wrong due to my brake line...
