I'm doing the rear disc brake conversion on my '82 K20 with the 14 bolt FF axle. I've got a parts dana 44 with good callipers/rotors I'm going to use. Anyone running something close with comments?

zach did drum to disc swap on a 14ff there is a writeup on texas4x4.org.

I did the conversion and I love it. I still need to put an adjustable proportioning valve on it, the rear brakes lock up really easy.

The front brake hoses from a 70s Chevette are just the right length.

We had a small discussion on this thread. http://www.planet4x4.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=198&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

you have the part numbers for the hoses??

 

[Sandman]

Really. My rear brakline setup looks real bad. :roll:

Bendix- 77223

I think that Autozone and Oreilly's both use that part number.

We need to get together one of these times Sandman. I've got a buddy here in town that really wants to checkout yer rigg, plus I wouldn't mind checking it over myself

The brackets for the rear disc brake conversion should be here by the end of the week, so hopfully I'll get a chance to throw them on over the weekend/first of the week

The Brake conversion is pretty easy. I was surprised at how easy it turned out.

Come on over anytime. :thumb:

it's probably the easiest thing I have done to the Wagon thus far.

It's a hell of a lot easier than trying to get the drums off. :scared:

what about a 14bsf conversion?

 

[Lehi]

I have nevr heard of it being done. You can get FF for cheap and they are alot better anyways, unlessyou are running 6 lug.

 

[82cruiser]

well whatever trevor has on his ramcharger. I know its a 14 8 lug.

 

[trevortoyota]

yep...9.5'' 14b

 

[82cruiser]

its a ff?

 

[82cruiser]

nope its sf. That should not matter though cause the bolt pattern is the same. The only thing different is the big a$$ hub. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

[trevortoyota]

two different 14 bolts
9.5'' = c-clip axle/ "semi float"

10.5'' = FF

the ff and sf are not the same. maybe diy4x.com has soemthing that would work, i would call them up and see if they have tried it yet.
