My King Cab

[goes2fast]

It's been my lucky week, I guess, my Addco sway bars came on Friday, I got them installed, and I can't wait for the first drive, the front is the same size as the one I bought for my 57 Chevy 1 inch! That should give me some really flat cornering. Also my brackets for the rear disc conversion came from Bee, but he didn't include the list of components I need to go with them, so I can't buy anything to complete my parts collection before I start taking the old drums off. If all goes right this should be a fun truck to drive, and I might even go to one of Bob's autocross events and give it a shot. I haven't autocrossed since the 70s, I'll have to learn all over again.

Just to inform you that you better post some pictures. The people here on ratsun will go crazy. :lol:

 

As for the brakes, heres what it said on ebay:

 

 

 

 

 

These rotors and calipers are from the rear of an Isuzu Trooper, Amigo, or Pickup and have a built-in e-brake assembly which will work with the original cable assembly--cables will need to be lengthened a small amount.

 

 

 

Other Parts Needed For the Swap:

 

 

 

Rotors, calipers, pads, and lines: 1989-1993 Isuzu amigo, 1988-1991 Isuzu Trooper, 1988-1995 Isuzu Pickup

 

 

 

 

 

Instructions:

 

 

 

1. Remove Wheels

2. Remove drums

3. Remove parking brake cables

4. Remove brake lines from wheel cylinders

5. Remove 4 nuts behind backing plate assembly

6. Remove axle assembly (be sure to keep track of preload shims)

7. Remove the 4 studs (be sure no to damage the threads as you are going to re-use these)

8. The backing plate should be able to slide off the bearing housing to give you a better angle at your next step.

9. Remove backing plate. You have two ways of doing this. You can either have a machine shop remove the bearing assembly the “book” way or you can cut the backing plate off. If you choose the later be sure to protect the bearing assembly from the metal shavings you will create during the procedure.

10. Install the studs back in the bearing housing

11. Install axle back into axle tube with bearing spacer shims

12. Place caliper mounting bracket on the back side of the axle tube with the caliper position toward the rear of the vehicle and replace nuts removed in step 5

13. Slide rotor over axle

14. Install caliper mounting bracket using supplied spacers

15. Install calipers and pads

16. Install Isuzu rubber brake lines with banjo bolts and connect other end to existing hard lines
