Disc brakes for your WC?
Disc brakes for your WC?
Hey guy's
New to this forum and have a question that I need answered.
Has anyone put dics brakes on there WC and if so what did you use.
I have them on my Power Wagon and really like them but seeing that the WC"s are only 1/2 tons do you really need them?
Thanks
Terry

Ray at Helitool made up disk brake conversions for the M series trucks. But there is enough difference between the M and the WC series that the kits won't fit. It is a shame. Oh well if your brakes are rebuild and adjusted correctly they will stop fine. Just have to allow yourself a little more room.

Thanks guy's
I've tried Ray's and he has the back dics brakes but due to the small amount of poeple asking for his brakes system he has discontinued(sp) the fronts
Again thanks for all your help and should have all the WC's home by the weekend to check to see just what we have. One is a parts truck, one in kit form and the third is just a cab and bed with other parts for the other two projects. Can't wait
Also if we're in need of parts who should we call?
Thanks

LinK bought them for herself.
I'll let you know after I put the two together? We need to sort things out first. The fenders that I looked at may need alot of work but we will see.
It may take a couple of years to put them together, I'm still with just haft a wing but getting better.
I like these little funny faces
