Early Dodge,........................ Still

For the last several weeks, I have been gathering up parts for a conversion to disc brakes for the early Dodge. The original brakes were the drum type. Not the most efficient of binders. The guys from the A-100 group have worked out the conversion using brakes from other later model vehicles, The front brakes are from an 87 Dakota 4x4 pick-up. The rears are from a 98 Jeep grand cherokee. The toughest part is a mounting plate that needs to be fabricated from plate steel.

Picked up a piece of 3/8 steel plate, and designed a variation of the plate found on the internet and drilled it then cut it out.

Fits nicely, Now to finish assembling all the other parts.

The rear axles need to have different bearings. Took them to Vance and he pressed them on for me.. they didnt want to come off. but, he got them .Fits like a glove.

Rears all togeather, now to finish the fronts.
