Is it simpler to change front or rear end brakes?
I'm building my first hotrod, and have come up to my next problem. (hoping these will e getting fewer.) I have an s10 frame set up with a ford 8.8 inch from a mustang. I want the lug pattern on the wheels to match. Will it be easier to change the rear brakes from Ford drums to Chevys, or the front Chevy discs to the Ford pattern?
Why not just put Ford rims on the back and Chevy on the front? If your building a hot rod you probably won’t have the same size tires on front and rear; they won’t be interchangeable. It’s not like you’re going to be rotating them. The easiest thing is keep the rims with like axles. That sees like the logical choice tom me. You can certainly buy 4 aftermarket rims of the same design, only with 2 different bolt patterns.
If you must insist, though; the BEST thing would be to convert the rear to disc. The easier would be changing over the front to Ford. I think you can get rotors for that purpose from hot rod part suppliers. No spindles required.
