Last call, $200 disc kits for 2007..........

[Olddaddy]

I will make the last run of disc brake kits for 2007 at my discounted $200 price this weekend. If you want a kit, shock arms etc. send me an email and I'll add you to the list. Paypal or money orders only. Thanks to everyone who already made a purchase, you made a great year end and Christmas for my family.

Here's the info on my kits, the prices quoted are discounted until 12-31-07. Kits are $200 and Shop work is $80, Shock relocation arms are $50, including shipping on each thru year end.

I make kits for mid 30s-late 50s Dodge/Plymouth trucks, and mid 30s-late 50s Plymouth cars. These years are approximate, and the kits may fit other years. Check the picture below to see if your spindle looks like either of the two shown. If so, you car or truck can probably be converted using my kit. My kits can be installed on Dodge, DeSoto, and Chrysler cars by installing Plymouth spindles on the original suspension. The Plymouth spindles mount identically to the others, using the same king pins and bushings.

My kit includes the caliper brackets, spacers, hardware, parts list and instructions. You will also need rotors, calipers, pads, bearings, seals, nuts, brake hose, banjo bolts, and cotter pins. The necessary parts are commonly available nationwide at a variety of parts stores including Napa, Discount Advance, Autozone, and many others. The rotors on all my kits are a Mopar item with a 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern. The kits normally sell for $225 shipped to lower 48 addresses, add $20 to Canada. Shipping to Europe or elsewhere is available, but I will need your post code info to quote a price. Also, if you live in an area outside the US where parts may not be readily available, I can provide complete kits with all parts necessary to do the conversion.

The kits require you to drill and tap two or three mounting holes on each spindle to 5/8"-18 fine thread depending on which vehicle you are converting. Trucks and early Cars have two holes to drill, later Cars have three. You will also need to drill out the holes in your steering arms to 11/16" which is clearance for a 5/8" bolt. If you cannot do that I will do it for you for $20 per piece, $80, plus $20 shipping, $100 total to lower 48 addresses, add $10 to Canada. I can email you the parts list after you pay if you want to get a jump on your parts purchases. You can pay via paypal, using this email address as the "send to" location. You can also pay via money order to Charlie Akers, 6405 Old Kissimmee rd, Davenport, FL 33896. I regret I cannot take personal checks, or credit cards.

art these just for pickup trucks or do you have product for bigger trucks (1 1/2 ton)?

[Olddaddy]

The kit will fit 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks, but not the bigger ones. The spindles are too large for the rotor to fit onto them. It might be possible to do the larger trucks with a larger rotor, but I have not done any research on it at the present time.

Charlie, I would like to purchase a kit for my 1952 dodge 1/2 ton pickup if they are still avail. Please let me know.

Thanks.
