Disc brakes for 64'-67' Econoline

[volksnut]

I hope I'm explaining this right but my uncles T bucket has Econoline front spindles/brake hubs with motorcycle calipers, he wanting to know if there was ever a disc brake kit with hub and disc in one as his hubs need replacing.

Are they the same size as the Econoline? Either spindle or king pin size?

You can make it yourself. It's all in Chester's book and I have the the spindles on my bucket. Ron Pope has the pattern for the steering arm since he made on e for me.

Chester Greenhalgh, whose book has become a classic for T-bucket builders. Like a lot of things, some great ideas, some not so great . . .

Check out “tbucketplans.com”. They have Chester’s book you can download for $18.00 as well as videos of building frames and modifying fiberglass. I have most of the videos and have watched them a lot.
