    You can't be serious about this rotor...
    I must weigh 20 Lbs.
    Again, I thought I remembered a thread mentioning that the later Mighty Max disc brake assembly is a direct bolt on to earlier trux.
    They are also vented. I guess you pop the upper and lower ball joint and tie rod and the assembly bolts on (?)

    I know on my Nissan D21, and my Chevy S10s there are direct bolt ons from other models that have much larger capacity disc assemblies. Same with my Chevy C10s and my '68 Mustang.

    Any info will be greatly appreciated.

    ...and you found the centre console gauges as well? Only thing you need to finish it is the dash clock

    ^^^ Dash clock? RARE as hell!!!! Never seen one.

    I figured the brake swap was a direct bolt on.
    Does the 87+ Mighty have the better disc brake assembly? There are a few at the local Upull here.
    I've had several later Mighties but don't remember the front brake specifics.
    If the assemblies are better, that will be another upgrade on the list for this rig.

    I may have mentioned that I bought an expensive Bell Tech front sway bar. It's not much bigger than the stocker.
    It does have Delrin hardware though. An improvement over stock rubber swill.

    I've been thinking about a MOPAR 340 six pack/5 speed swap. Very expensive, but it would be an amazing vehicle afterwards.

    BTW, are we the only ones on this forum? I guess this thread isn't that interesting.
