| Ford F-350 Sterling 10.25 Rear Axle |
|
| Converted from Single to Dual rear wheels, and Drum to Disc brakes. Narrowing about 13 1/2", using '03 Dodge 3500 dually rear rotors and Chevy 1/2-ton calipers, along with 2" alluminum spacer. Finished picture below; Installed in my '52 F-3 using a 4-link Airbag setup. Still needs shocks, brake lines, some custom length 35-spline axle shafts, and change to cadillac calipers with parking brakes. (might use tranny brake) Tires are about 1" from frame rails, with an overall width of 73". (Flatbed is 73 1/4" wide) |

| Mock-up pics of disc brake converstion. Since i'm using 16" wheels, clearance is close. |
| Got this Cover from my local Ford dealer for $45, I guess it's a factory cover for '08 trucks with a Sterling. |
| Even with the deep hat rotors, i still needed 2 more inches for rotor and caliper clearance. |
| I have about 1/4" clearance between calipers and wheels. Calipers pictured are just for testing, they are the same size as the Cadillac rear parking brake calipers i'm still looking for. Will be making custom mounting brackets for the calipers later. |
