Project Snowbird - 1960 Hardtop
Tim, those are some great looking Ranchero's! You might look for these 14" rims, because the 14" OEM rims that your Tbird left the factory with are NOT manufactured to handle a disc brake set up in them.. As it is, 14" rims off any 1977-1979 rim from the Lincoln Versailles, Ford LTD II, Torino, or Ranchero, 1975-1980 Ford Granada, 1972-1979 Torino, or Ranchero just barely fit, with a very slim amount of space left once the rims are in place. But they do fit.
No one that I know of had to replace their stock sway bar because of adding the disc brake setup that we used. Some have replaced it for a heavier duty, better sway bar because of choice for better performance of the car, and even added a rear sway bar.
