Nice video, I will have my kit next week for my 67. I ordered the calipers in gloss black to match the rear. Love the POR-15 paint, goes on super smooth. Boom!
Looking great! Do you have to go to power brakes when doing this? I've been wanting to put front disks on mine. I have 15" american racing wheels on it so hopefully the disk and caliper will fit.
jewllake you don’t have to go power brakes, but the galaxie came with it! The kit can fit some 14’s but it will definitely fit like 90% of 15 inch wheels. I’m going to get some American racing wheels too!
Omar, How'd you decide on the viking coilovers? I'm in the market and there are at least 4 good quality choices. I want comfy ride, improved handling and a little lower than stock.
Yes there are lots of choices. I honestly got this because of the price and the fact that they are adjustable. So you can have a smooth ride or make it firm by changing the knobs. And they are lower from stock, good bang for the buck. I would call them, they are really knowledgeable for your setup.
Looks nice i have a 65 but i want to chance it to disk ony i have already a booster but it brakes not nice whit drumbs so i want to instal also wilwoods but what inch do i need and how mutch pistons 4 or 6 i have 21 inch wheels so space wouldn be the problem but i think i need an otter booster becouse the rear is stil drums what do you think whats best?
Just depends what you’re going to use the car for. 4 piston is fine for everyday, 6 piston has some huge rotors so they’re pretty pricey. I would call wilwood, their tech support is really good
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie thank you.. I have 18×8 foose f-208 rims all around. Do u think the brake caliper will rub the rim?. I also want to do the rears like u did your. What's the part numbers for your fronts and rears? Thanks again
@@germanmelendez6718 mine are 15 inch and front and rear fit fine. Front are 140- 13653-D. For the rear kit you’re going to have to measure the offset on your rear hub, It also depends if you have an 8 inch or a 9 inch rear end
Your greasing the front wheel bearings was insufficient. It's called packing the bearings. Those bearings will fail prematurely because rubbing grease on them is moved away from the bearings as the rotor spins.
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie it's not that you didn't have enough grease, greasing wheel bearings is forcing the grease in between the cage and the bearings on the inside. There are videos showing this technique by hand and with a bearing packer. When those bearings start turning at 20, 50 miles per hour that grease on the outside will remain on the outside and bearing failure will not be far behind.
Loving your videos man! I race a 64 and am in the process of building another 64 Galaxie into a street hotrod! I have the same Wilwood kit on mine and love it! You can check out my cars at facebook.com/jeff.lambert.5895
Well done! You are now a part of Ford history. I had a 66 7-litre Drop Top, 428 4sp and I miss it every day.
Nice video, I will have my kit next week for my 67. I ordered the calipers in gloss black to match the rear. Love the POR-15 paint, goes on super smooth. Boom!
Looking good! I done the same brake conversion on my 64 xl, still yet to try them out but will be alot better than drum!
I’m sure you will feel the difference!
Nice job!
Thanks!
Nice bro I bought a 63 Ford Galaxy. I’m hoping to put this brakes on it.
Like your videos I'm going to do the same for my 64.
A tremendous upgrade! Thanks for watching
This is awesome THANK YOU SIR! What is the viking suspension set up part number?
Thanks! Part # SHOA224550RK that’s for a 2 inch drop over factory
Awesome! Thanks for the video! My brother has a 66 that needs a brake conversion. How much did this run you?
The front is about $650 and back are around $800. If you keep an eye on sales you can get it cheaper

What wilwood p/n for the brake lines?
Great video, which Wilwood kit did you get? Did you replace the brake booster? Any prod detail would be appreciated
140-13653-d is the part number for front. I had the original booster rebuilt by the Dewey booster exchange
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie excellent! Thank you.
I just ordered the Hotchkis A arms for my 67.
awesome man, hotchkis makes some really good stuff

Did you brush or spray those control arms with POR15?
Brushed on!
What master cylinder are you running? I’m debating between a Leeds , pirate jack or a wilwood manual master cylinder?
Personally I’ve always gone with wilwood, I’ve never had problems with their parts
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie I appreciate the reply. I think that’s what I’m going to do also
Did you have to change the spindles
No, wilwood uses the original drum brake spindles
Hey.. Where did you ordered your brake kit from? How much was the kit for the fronts? Did you have to change the spindles from drum to disc?
I got it from summit racing for about $650. Uses the original drum brake spindle

@@germanmelendez6718 no problem any questions let me know.
What brake kit was this? do you have a link?
G Rapids sure, part number 140-13653-D
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie Thank you, keep posting on this car, i need ideas for my galaxie!
I know this video is 3yrs old, that BS this guy had to go buy bolts, for the money you spending it should be a apart of the kit

Talon Sharp thanks for the comment. I did grease them a lot more after I filmed it, I felt like it needed more as well
