Front Disc Swap

I know this is a long shot, but if it is possible, then somebody will know about it.
I put a Camaro clip in my '60 Truck, my wheels fit a Ford so I'm using adaptors.
The Truck is so low that the tires are going to rub on the fenders at full lock, so I'm going to get rid of the adaptors, to move the wheels in 3/4".
I know there is a Disc Brake Kit you can buy for an early ford I Beam, Where you can chose the Discs, depending on what bolt patern your wheels are.
What if the Chevy Disc would be Camaro, and the other one some Ford or Mopar Disc with the same bearings and dimentions?
That would solve my problem without any machining.
Can anybody help me with that Info? Thanks.

 

Your EASIEST soloution is to buy new wheels, but if you have something rare or expensive inside your tires, you may be able to buy rotors with the Ford lug pattern already installed from some of the street rod outlets. I know you can get them for A-body spindles, so someone must make them for Camaro spindles as well. (Maybe they interchange?)

Any COMPETENT parts counter guy can check various rotors out for you and let you know if there just happens to be an OEM part that will fit your application, but I'd seek out the new rotors from the aftermarket with the lug pattern you want!

 

Metal............. I had to go from chev to ford pattern on my Stude.(NOVA front clip)...when I posted about it FAB32 said to remove the studs,drill and tap the holes,PLUG THEM (like with a bolt--then "face off" the bolts)(make them EVEN with the rotor face)then drill the new pattern for ford and press in new studs...........I couldn/t do that my self so I took 'em to a machine shop(dropped 'em off in the morning--had them back by lunchtime)----cost $100 ---you would never know they were changed and they work great !!(thanks again FAB32........)

fatman's in charlotte sells narrower upper and lower a arms
that will move your wheels in.

 

I agree with skipper, just plug the old holes and have new ones drilled. Problem solved for less aggravation than trying to fit Ford rotors. You can probably find Ford rotors that fit, but the rotor will not line up with the caliper or the width of the rotor will be off. So then you have to machine a spacer or other adapters, in the end you have put as much effort into it as just changing the bolt pattern on the Camaro rotors.

 

I put (fatman) narrowed A-arms on my 40 ford I had a few years ago(NOVA front clip)............shortened the turning radius GREATLY !! Had 'ta back the car up at least once to get in a parkin' spot..........won't use them again unless there is NO other way............my .02 .

Thanks for all your Replys,
I dont mind having the Discs redrilled, but if there was a Of The Shelf part that would have been a straight swap, that would have been a more elegant solution.
If that part existed, some HAMBer would have known about it.
So now I dont have to waste my time ( and the parts guy I was going to bug with this ) trying to find what is not there.
