You put a lot of thought and good engineering into this brake setup. Nice lowbuck upgrade for the application. With the big binders on the rear you could need a proportioning valve. But needless to say a good inexpensive job.

 

Nice job! Thanks for sharing.

 

wow good job of adapting to something that you can get parts from any parts house. cool

 

Great job. This would actually work on any 28-48 Ford Passenger Car OR 28-47 Ford 1/2 ton Pickup/Panel rear end.
You would need to check the 28-31 A rear end spring perch clearance to the cylinder brake pipe inlet on this before committing to it just like the early Ford conversion.
How about a shot from the rear installed?

 

Nice job! Exactly what I was looking for.

 

Great post ----------- Big Thanks!

cool....

 

Very nice, thanks! Is this your photo album?

 

What was the price for the f150 drums? Nice job.... might think about that on my coupe??

 

Wow, very cool. You know, you could make some money selling finished backing plates...hint hint.

 

to answer some of your questions,, there is a discription under mosr of the fotos if you inlsrge them and scroll down !!!
is this my album ?? yes
backing plates , ? junk yard , get everything ,so you will have e-brake parts
drums $ ? best i remember 20$ each , the complete job was less than $200
hub ?? hub is for outboard drum mount and it floats !!!
i really hope this helps someone with their brake s
oh !! i used a speedway disc kit on the front , so i still have 5 on 5 1/2 lugs all around

 

Wow, Thanks for posting, this is just what I needed, besides 87-96 ford F-150 rear brakes are alot easier to find than decent 39-41 Ford.
