Liberty Rear Disk Brakes for A-Body
Go with Doctor Diff stuff & be done with it. Why screw around?

Sometimes it’s better to just pay the money up front. Read about all the issues people have with the cheaper eBay kits. Read about this whole Liberty brake conversion. Spend a day in the junk yard looking for parts. Disassemble those parts, clean them up, take them to a machinist to have them turned down. Spend another day fitting everything, making some kind of custom bracket for the brake cables, etc.
What’s your time worth? Assuming you do all the junk yard diving and don’t buy new parts, you save a few hundred bucks maybe? Assuming you get good useable parts from the yard. But you spend a couple of days screwing around looking for parts, running back and forth to the machine shop, test fitting everything, etc.
Sure, the Dr. Diff stuff is more expensive, but it fits, it works great, and everything you need comes straight from him and can be installed in a few hours. I’ve done my share of wrecking yard parts pulling, I’ve cheaped out and bought crappy internet kits, and I’ve installed Dr. Diffs kits too. I send Cass the money now and don’t look back, my time is worth more than that.
