Thanks for your question! They don’t take up any more room than the drums they replaced at all. Boyce Equipment makes no mention if they are strictly for super singles, so I would be pretty positive that they would fine for the factory duals.
@@chopperbuilder70 I've seen the other kit the uses 2002 f350 or 550 disc and calipers. Using the existing hub.wonder if Boyce's conversion is the same hardware.
The discs, pads, calipers, caliper mounting adapters, hoses and hardware. I had to fab up brackets for the hoses to keep them in place and I also ordered seals and gaskets to service the bearings while I was in there. I had no issue with the customer service, but agreed the instructions (pictures) did lack. They did say they are going to provide better ones with a video link on the website in future. Thanks for your question! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@chopperbuilder70 ouch! Do you have to go back to that company for pads and rotors when they need replaced or do they use a rotor thats commercially available
@@georgedistel1203 they use a Ford caliper, pads and rotor so no. That’s one of the best parts of this kit, no need to go to a specialty vendor for brake parts in the case of a break down...
This is the only one out right now...I do have another shorter video involving front brake conversion, I need to find it in the PC and upload it. Thank you for your question!
Thank you sir Rob for your quick reply. Actually I do have my own truck (1940's military truck) . My late father acquired it in 1959. It was converted to a logging truck during the time. Eventually he acquired another 8 units. But as of the moment, it downs to two. In 1980's we converted the under chassis to M35a differentials front to read. I was fascinated on your video. That's why I ask if there's another video. I want to convert my front differential from drum break to disk breaking system. If you may I have a video of my truck in action on RUclips. Please look for "Bataan Woodpicker" (not Woodpecker). Thank you sir
Thanks! I was thinking of doing this myself. But wasn't sure. I never can seem to get the drum brakes set right... 15 tries later and my brakes still seem squishy. Not to mention fighting constant leaks from the wheel cylinders... every time it sits for a month or two and I got a new leak to deal with 🤦♂️
@@Freedomandfreedomalone no special tools needed, all common tools any home mechanic would have in their toolbox. The grinder and air cutter are about the only special tools I used.
@@chopperbuilder70 Ok thank you. Have a plasma table and would like to make a set for my self. So i can use the extra money and buy the mrap wheels from boyce.

In my time in the army as a mechanic was worth to some service in the brakes, we have to remove all the tires to adjust the brakes
Hey great video -- well done. Its really interesting to see someone actually put discs on their M35!
Thanks Jeff! They work great. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Did you have to replace the hydraulic brake buster and the master cylinder?
The brake booster was on the list of parts I bought, but I did need to replace the master cylinder as well.
With the disc brake upgrade is it still air over hydraulic?
Thanks for your question and subscribing! The answer is yes, it’s still air over hydraulic.
Would that kit work with the duals, or are they for the super single?

@@ngarza6685 true, the calipers I got from them were Ford parts.
Is Factory Service Brakes Rockwell?
I would assume so, yes.
Cool stuff
What was in the kit? I have a lot of stuff from Boyce, their customer service and directions suck! Well done, Thanks!

How much does that kit cost and did you adapt it over to dual circuit system. Can you still run the dual 900×20 ndcc tires
@@georgedistel1203 kits were $850 per axle and I’m still using a single circuit system for now. You should have plenty of clearance for stock duals.

Do you have links to the disc brakes you used
Boyce Equipment in Utah supplied the kit.

@@chopperbuilder70 thank you currently watching ur video
I'm from the Philippines, I just want to ask if there's another video prior to this video?
I want to learn more. Thank you sir

Did you keep the same master cylinder?
Yes I did, it retains the same single circuit system.

Was there a part number on the calipers and rotor?
No as they came in a large kit from Boyce Equipment. Depending on who you ask, it’s been said they could be from an F550 Ford.

@@chopperbuilder70 also how was the disc mounted you skiped that part in your video.
@@elfwithabike it’s mounted with the same hardware that held the old drum to the spindle.
