    I am converting my f1 front end to disc brakes. Does anybody know if the factory wheels will still fit on the front.
     
  2. YES !!!...I converted to discs up front about 10-12 years ago.....kit used F150 rotors and 5 on 5 1/2" studs.....stock wheels bolt right up....used full size GM calipers ( Caprice)....wheel bearing spacers included....company name is CCP....I believe they are in Connecticut.

    Thanks for the info. I have picked out a kit from Speedway, it's a little cheaper than CCP. I just wanted to make sure before i bought it. Thanks again

    I used a CPP kit, I do remember though they said you might have some clearance issues with stock wheels (I didn't) but I recall they gave instructions/suggestions on how to overcome fit issues.
