I'm looking into this process on my W200 73 8 lug. Serious question though that I get a lot of conflicting info on. Do you need to change out the master cylinder and proportioning valve? I've read on forums that the original setup for drum/drum won't work well with disc/drum. Something about the psi needing to be different when switching over.
You need a master cylinder with a larger front reservoir because calipers hold more fluid. A new proportioning valve is a good idea, either from a newer truck, or an adjustable
Looks like a lot of value, and well thought out kit for 900.00.
Keep it up man I've learned alot from you over the past few years
There's a lot left to do on this truck, and then I have the 67 Dart to return to with more projects.
The kit came with Dana/Spicer hardware and not some grade zero junk?! Color me impressed.
Only the torque wrench was swearing in this one.
That's how easy the swap was.!
Will Shivvy brakes be able to stop all of that Mopar power?
Especially when grabbing Ford rotors!

Ok, so definitely need a new master cylinder. Is a new proportioning valve required? Or would I be fine with my stock one?
