    Does anyone know of a junk yard bolt on that can be turned into 4 wheel disk brakes for a 79 Ranchero (302 Auto)

    I've done it myself,look for the '77 Lincoln contintal mark 7(?)
    This is a bolt-on and is only a little wider,from what I recall just one inch total.
    What you also need is its hydrobooster with hoses and (steering)pump and proportioning valve,also take the junktion block from the back.
    Take as much as is on the car,greets from Europe.

    If havent got mag wheels that you are attched too its a real easy swap! Find a lincoln mark 4 or 5, 74 to 79 and pull the front rotors, rear axel assamblys (every thing that is bolted to the housing), master cyl and proporitioning valve. It will all bolt on you chero. you will have to do some plumbing on the lines and some work to make the ebrake work. It will change your your lug pattern to 5 on 5 bolt cir. other wise its a bolt on swap. the master cyl. will bolt up to the break booster.
