So I've had this 9" axle that I "stole" for $150 waiting on leaf springs to go in my car. Meanwhile I put disc brakes on it so at least I would them in the back and then I'd worry about the fronts later. I finally got the leafs in last week and spent yesterday swapping the axles. I put an ad here and on CL to sell/trade the 8" yesterday. Last night a kind fellow inquired and stated he had complete front disc assemblies from a Granada and would be willing to trade. So today we made the swap and I will now have disc brakes all the way around!! That axle wasn't out for 24 hours and it's gone! That's the way to do it!
AWESOME! Let us know how it performs when you are done. I got a Granada 9" from a junkyard for 75 bux, which is good, but your overall deal/end product beats the heck out of that even IMO.
That's still a great deal for $75. I'd buy those all day long. I may have to spend $200 for rotors and calipers and such, but I didn't set foot in a junkyard which is especially good because it's been close to 100 degrees here.
