Re: Budget disc brake conversion

I found a whole crossmember on Craigs List for $100 for a 1/2 ton. I decided there wasn't enough options for the 3/4 ton, so I am converting the whole thing over to 1/2.

There is a little bit of work, but it's a pretty clean swap. Pull a junk unit, rebuild it while it's out, then slide it in. You will have to support the motor somehow if it isn't pulled to get it in/out.
