I own a 2dr 1968 Ford LTD with factory front disc brakes does anyone know who makes aftermarket front brake calipers for this car (wilwood,SSBC,etc) ? Im also planning on upgrading the rear also (it has rear drums now)

Instead of replacing the calipers, do an upgrade with new aftermarket(wilwood,ebc,etc)brake kit. New rotors and all.That way you get the benefits of 2,4, or 6 piston calipers and slotted rotors. I'm sure, if you check with them, they will have a rear disc kit also. The reason i replied is, you car. My first car was a '68 galaxie 500 convertable. We replaced the headlights with LTD hidden, and also LTD taillights. so it looked like a XL, but didn't mean to, just liked the headlights better. Mine had a 390 with C6 tranny, and had factory air( which was rare for convertables).

YES i wish i still had it. the bad thing is the way i had to get rid of it. had it stored at my parents house, and they decided to build a garage, and i had no where to store it.I had just gotten married. so i GAVE it to my brother-in-law, he in turn sold it to his cousin which owed someone money and gave him the car for payment, in turn he sold it to a towing company,for the engine. I don't know what happened to it after that, but i have an idea.(rest in peace old girl.)
