FuzzFace2 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 First I want to thank everyone for any help you can give. Trucks: 81 F100, 2WD, 4700 GVW,1 has power brakes the other non-power brakes. Disc brake dust shields between the 2 the same? What I tried to look up on my parts CD for the last hour and got lost! I don't know how you guys do it? I think I cam up with main part numbers but not sure. 2K004-RH 2K005-LH Also found man. brakes 80/83 - parts list 15 or 16 power brakes 80/83 - parts list 6 (4600 - 4700 GVW) I don't need to full part numbers just if they are both use the same shields. I don't want to pull the good ones if they will not fit, waste of time I can use doing something else. Thanks again Dave G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Dave - Why not use the info on this website? It is under Driveline/Brakes. On the Dust Shields tab you'll see a tab for Part #'s, and there you'll see that the manual brakes are -C and the power brakes are -D. In other words, different part numbers. So that probably means they won't interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look closer at the 2 parts with out pulling the good ones off to see if I can tell where the difference might be. I am thinking it might be the "off set" as that's why the rotor/hub assy. would not swap over to the other spindles. Thanks for your help Dave G.

But there's some difference, and a "1 little letter" difference can mean huge physical differences. And, I didn't mean to sound as sarcastic as I did when I read what I wrote again. Sorry. But I knew that going down the parts list rabbit hole is frustrating, and that there's a better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One little letter can also mean nothing more than a revision, but usually parts lists will show R/B meaning replaced by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I knew that going down the parts list rabbit hole is frustrating, and that there's a better way. I never even thought that I do know the calipers & pads are the same between the 2 trucks. I also know the offset of the 2 rotor/hubs are different as are the spindles to work with the offset. I will clean up & paint the shields that I know will work, the rot is not that bad, so if the good ones will not fit I don't have to stop the job. Will keep you posted. Thanks Dave G.

I did not get that far yesterday to look into the 2 parts in question. It is looking like next weekend till I would be able to check. I did look over the shields that I know will work, the little bit of rot is not bad so I will hit them with a wire brush and paint them when I paint the other rebuilt parts so I have them ready just in case.

Sometimes I get in a sarcastic mood and it shows in my writing. I responded that way to someone else at about the same time. Anyway, glad the rot isn't to bad and that you have a backup plan.

Anyway, glad the rot isn't to bad and that you have a backup plan. Had to go to the back up plan I looked a little closer between the 2 different shields just before I was going to pull the good set off and as I kind of thought it is the off set of the mounts/dish. The one I need, non-power 5x5 wheel bolt pattern, has a deeper dish than the other, power 5x4.5 wheel bolt pattern. There was no way I could take pictures with out pulling apart the good set and I did not want to do that. Maybe I can get a measurement and will check next time out in the garage.

Dave ---- It would be good to document the differences. That way when someone asks in future we'll have the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
