Re: [Amc-list] Cheap brake conversion

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

The only danger is finding out which end the Ranger actually got!
As near as my readings can point the 91-92 Ranger got the car ends!
The exploder got the truck ends.
It's hard to tell cause after 93 the widths are so close anyone who wants the disc just buys an exploder rear!
I've only read hints of swaps to the Ranger axle.
I've got another 13-15 hour day today.
Hopefully I'll feel like trying to look for the Ranger rear again by Thursday.
