I found a imperial site that discusses the availability problems of the 66-69 bud brake rotors so those are out. They talked about a supra rotor being modified as a replacement for 30.00 each to go on the imperial hub. Calipers are available still. These are a fixed caliper design that could...

I will look into the scarebird and Fatman products. I have seen mention of a method to lower a 56 from Fatman that is used with a disc brake kit from another vender. I really had no plans to lower the car. Kind of want to use it more utilitarian like a truck than make a lowered cruizer out...

Thanks for posting guys. I have found a big problem with my car is it is a 56 which has a strange king pin coil spring set up. So just bolting on the 73 up spindle will not work. I believe the king pins are a strong enough design to build off of. So to adapt a disc rotor will not be as easy as...

So if I am understanding this correctly the 69-72 were a Kelsey Hayes two piece hub and brake rotor. These used a single piston caliper held on by pins? Where does the Budd brakes fit in? Were these the fixed 4 piston caliper? What years for these? Were the 73 unicast rotors Kelsey Hayes...

Nice work on your interior stew. Looks real good. I am making new panels and seats for my Desoto now also. I have had a severe mouse problem to reverse. They made themselves right at home.

Hello guys, I have been searching post for a couple days now and haven't found the answer to a few questions. So here goes. Will a 69 new yorker front brake rotor fit on the 73 up brake swap spindle? Leaving the caliper out of the equation so to speak. The reason I ask is kind of...

I had a new core put in the radiator and the seats are redone. I rebuilt the factory front drum brakes so they will work but I would really like to change them over to disc to make it a little safer. As of right now I am tracking down a used Lakewood bell housing to connect the transmission...

And the fronts.

These are the old set of wheels I had laying around so I cleaned them up and put new tires on them. I thought they came out nice for being on the cheap.

Pictured is a Longram manifold setup I am piecing together to use on a 440 in the Desoto. I have fit the engine and fabricated some nice mounts. I recently found a set of clutch brake pedals so the 727 will be coming out to make room for a 4-speed or at least a overdrive A833. The rear axle I...

If it were mine I would put some effort into polishing and painting the mags. They are a great vintage style that I have always liked.

Here's one of the front. Sorry about all the dust. I will be moving her out of the winter storage to get back to work on her soon.

I think I got a picture up?

Afternoon, Gents. I was just browsing through a lot of post here on this site looking for info on getting my 56 DeSoto project back on the road and thought I would join in. I like how you guys were there to help a less experienced enthusiasts get a disc brake conversion kit installed safely...
