body classifications A,B, body? for front disc brake conversion

I have been trying to classify my dodge a108 van so i can order a willwood front disc brake kit.
the website says they make the kit but i want the info so when i call them to order i know what i have.

what is the body platform for the 67 dodge a108?/ front spindles

I can't find it online and what is the difference between body platforms ?

I think the Scarebird conversion is the way to go.

does scarbird do a kit for the 108 - i know they do one for the a100

a100 & 108 spindle would be the same the 10" or 11 " brakes is the difference
call scarbird they are up on what you would need
in the 60`s the barracuda , Valant and Dart were a bodies ,
Also the dodge full size pickup is a D 100 but often confused as the a100

Yes they do. Here is a list of parts needed.

super helpful-

do i order the parts directly through them ?

or do i order the parts?

Is there any one in southern ca / orange county that has done this .
I do not want to mess up.

Scarebird sells you the brackets, you buy all the remaining components. They are all easily sourced with the part numbers. You can do it!

i looked up the scar bird stuff-
it may be a dumb question so don't make fun.

The original set up i have wheel bolts to hub

the scar bird rotor has no lug nuts - how does wheel go on?

Do I have them pressed in - the part list does not have them listed

in short how does the wheel and get attached in the scar bird set up for the 67 dodge a108

sorry - wheel bolts to the drum not the hub

DISC BRAKE CONVERSION QUESTIONS - Today at 3:14 pm
Im confused on how the wheel goes on.

i know its sounds dumb - but my first attempt at doing a disc conversion.

i am a visual learner and the scar bird instructions are written .

any help would be grateful

with humility

the rotor has bearings fitted to the front spindle , the rotor is held to the spindle by a center bearing, washer large nut and a carter pin  the rotor has the wheel studs
hope that helps ..

CAUTION!

Last time I looked at the Scarebird website, they make a conversion for all A100s, but not the 1967 A108.  I suspect the parts will fit the Dodge A108, but they're concerned that about stopping ability, given the higher load capacity of the A108 compared to the A100.

Here's my reference:

https://scarebird.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=127&search=a100

" These brackets will currently only work with the 2200# front axle, and will NOT fit the 13" rims nor 1967-70 A108."

I looked up all the parts on the parts list and the rotors do not have wheel studs pressed in .

Elton- thanks for the heads up - has anyone out there put in a front disc conversion on a 67 a108?
that will be safe

Very safe.

i run a different set up on my a100, , but the disc brake set up is by far the smartest conversion you can do for safety on any car /truck that runs 4 wheel drum brakes, they have been around for more than 10 years and i never heard of a complaint , they stop faster , easier they don't pull, self adjusting

iam going to put the disc brake conversion on for sure .
im just trying to find the best version - scare bird or willwood.

i want to do it myself and if anyone out there has done it and can give me insight i would greatly appreciate it .

the advise i have gotten has been great !

i will call scare bird and get there in put

is there any other place that sells disc brake conversions?

The Scarebird conversion is one of the most popular ways to go on "A"s. Many have also used early Dodge Dakota parts to convert to Disc brakes. Another kit is by AAj (aajbrakes.com). Also Engineered Components Inc. (ecihotrodbrakes.com) says they make a kit. There doesn't seem to be a direct "bolt-on" kit for the A108, you have to do some modifications no matter which way you go. The backing plate, steering stop points, sway bar, tie rod, etc will probably have issues. You will need to replace your Master Cylinder and proportioning valve (or add the P valve, if yours doesn't have one). Should run all new brake lines as well. All that said, it's well worth the improvement and costs. There are some really knowledgeable people in these groups that have done this conversion, so join all the Van groups you can find and ask LOTS of questions. Good Luck and please post your experiences!

i`m running the Dakoda set up

What is the "Dakoda set up"?

Thanks!

it's all mopar parts
except having bracket machined and a trip to the junk yard to remove Dakota hubs.

will that set up work for me ?
please share if possible

i can not say it will work on the 108...
