1939 or 1940??

what year did ford start using hydraulic brakes 1939 or 1940??

 

'39

 

39,but they were wide 5 pattern

 

39 deluxe, standard from mechanical from what I have been told.

 

Correct- 1939 are kind of 1 year only brakes on Fords/ Mercs.

I believe Zephyr's got juice that year too... Bendix style.

 

yeah i know in 1939 the bolt pattern was 5 x 10.5 and '40 was 5 x 5.5 that's why i was wondering what year the juice started. will both 39' and 40' front brakes work on '37 spindles?

 

yes 37 spindles will except both 39 ,40,and 41. also can except 42 to 48 backer plate too .
