I have a 56 Fairlane and I would like to add disk brakes.I read some where

that the spindles and rear end from a 76 Ford Granda will fit.

Has anyone tried this?

yep--a friend just put a set on his 56 ford--you need spindle/caliper/rotor--from a granada or versailles---bob

Thanks,Bob. Would you ask your friend if the he used the 56 ball joints or did he have to use ball joints for the Granada.

savoy64

he slipped them on the stock balljoints

dont know if the granada/56 are the same exact part number but the taper is the same---bob

on that granada rear----if you find a versaille parts car it has a 9 inch with disc brakes----another to watch for is a 97 explorer 8.8 HD case posi and disc----59.5 inch flange width---bob

if you cant find a set let me know

i have a set of versaille spindles and calipers set aside---after my friend george put his car together one of his ford fiend work buddys said he wanted a set too---i picked these up for him and he left me hanging---$90 plus shipping----check out drilled slotted rotors at rockauto for their price----bob
