I read on here somewhere that the front disc brake/spindle set up from 76-77 Ford Mavericks were a fit for my 54 Monterey. I ended up with 1978's instead, don't know if it was me or the bone yard that made the mistake, but i'm here to tell you the 78's work with a little hogging out the lower ball joint and the tie rod. I'll need to modify the back stop, like everyone else. The other not so interesting thing is aftermarket rotors have a snout that is too large for factory 15" wheels. Im having mine machined down as we speak. I had the same issue on other aftermarket rotors. I'm not sure if they are cast and machined to metric size or what, they just seem to be larger than stock. Can't wait to hit the road with my Aerostar springs and rear 2" lowering blocks. It was also well worth the effort to replace A arm bushings, shocks, brake lines, the whole works.
