Need help with brake rotors...

[71 LONG BED]

The drums for the DRW F350 are huge! They won't fit a SRW F350. Sorry, that's the only info I can give you. The drum on the left is SRW the one on the right is for DRW. Hope this helps.

The DRW stuff won't work for you. The hub and rotor has a huge offset to accommodate the DRW style wheels.

You should look into '73 and newer SRW front brakes. You may be able to do a similar swap to what I show in the thread you posted the link to. RockAuto.com Lists front SRW rotors for 1973 F350. I do not know if the SRW front end is the same for '67-'72 and '73-'79 as it is for DRW. PLease let us know what you find out. Maybe check over at fordification.net for info on the '73 and newer parts.

are you looking for disc or drum? I dont ever remember seeing a 350 bump with front disc thought only 250s had them. any way i agree with Flatbed, change to the newer style, 73 and up. Just be careful because in mid 76 there where changes made to the brake system so make sure you get the VIN off the truck if you can. It is some work to do but will make life easier to find parts.

Hey Steve. Long time, no hear from. This is like a reunion thread.

Hey guys, thank you VERY much for popping in here with your input. Apparently they did make F350 SRW trucks with disc brakes because I have one. But they obviously did not make very many because the rotors have been discontinued and NO ONE makes them anymore, as I have found out.

Thanks for the visual on the front F350 DRW ones. I didnt realize the extreme difference. So now it comes down to either going with a bump era F250 front disc setup, or the dent era F350 front disc setup. It seems that from what I have read in the other thread that the dent system might be a direct bolt on? And I want to only look at 73-75 F350 dents then?

What is a list of parts I need to pull off and keep to make this work since I already have disc brakes in the F350? It should just be a conversion to be able to use the different rotors since the disc braking system is already in place. I know there are different types, but since they are all Ford and from pretty much the same era, shouldnt they all be very similar as far as setup goes?

I have used rockauto.com to compare parts from the different years. They often have a picture with the parts. the picture may or may not be the actual part, but you can compare part numbers. Do you have a good parts guy that you can talk to? Not the kid at Auotozone, but a guy that has been in the parts biz for a while.

Good luck. Any dent setup will work it is just when u need to order parts. Keep in mind the years. Lol hey flatbed. Yup been awhile!

If what you ordered doesn't work out I have a set off my F250 CrewCab which runs F350 front suspension...you can have them...if you wanna pay for shipping,I know the PO replaced them, but they have been sitting outside so would probably need a good cleaning/turning.
