    Hello fellow vanners! I have a brake question. What kind of master cyl are you useing on your early's with the scarebird disc conversion? I just picked up a virgin 66 a100 pannel that has been in a barn since 1989! My plans are for keeping it original paint. disc/drum brakes fuel injected 318 auto. My tire wheel combo will be benwahs Famous 2" lift but will have the stock wheels widened 12" and run the stainless 10" caps for the rear. And not sure what will work with the front brakes I might have to run 15s up front.

    Hi BEN the master cylinder is used from a 1972 /74 dodge b van they had front disc, rear drums and did not have a booster, so they did not have power brakes
    i'm not running the scarbird set up, so i cant answer weather the factory 14's will clear ,
    all new rims are designed for the disc, and should work ,again i'm not sure
    the setup i'm running the factory 14's did not work but the 14" crager- ss wheels did clear so that is what i'm running now
