Hey all,

I found this when I searched and want to clear something up:

"Ford f-150 rotors, caliper brackets, gm 1/2 ton calipers. All in all it should cost around a buck fifty.
I went with TSM but after receiving the receipt i found they use f-150 rotors. Calipers are like $15 bucks, pins are like $2, brackets are probably $15."

Am I too assume that F150 Bracket will bolt right up to my Scout II Rear D44?

The way this person wrote this sounds like it all bolts up, is this true?

Thanks,

-Justin:smokin:

I believe i was the one to post that and the f-150 rotors are a hat rotor and go right on. The bracket is one you can get at
http://www.aa-mfg.com/body.html and it is a weld on bracket. The 1/2 ton calipers will bolt up to that and bam!!! you're done. Here is a pic.

But easy enough that my limited fab knowledge can handle ;)

Thanks, that is what I was looking for.

My next quesiton is....do I need a backing plate? I was also looking at a 8.8 setup and it looks like it would work perfectly...other than the 4.5" Bolt Pattern.

One last question :emb:

Will the 1/2 Ton GM Brackets clear a 15" Wheel?

Thanks

Nope. We have to drive to the hammers or hungry valley. Hungry valley is only 1 hour away but the hammers are three.
