FORD Dealership or Parts Counter guys.....check in please.

As my buildup of the Mog-9 axles continues along, I'm approaching a point where I need to buy the brake setup for the 8-Lug conversion.

The kit is from a company called eXaXt, and in their instructions they specify that I locate discs, calipers and caliper hangers from a:

1995 - 97 Ford 2WD E250 - 3/4 or 1-Ton truck (these are front calipers not rear)

I've also heard that people have successfully used 1998 parts as well.


My question for anyone with access to the parts books is:

1. Are the part numbers all identical between those years?
2. If there are different part numbers, which would be the most "common" parts to standardize my build on? I don't want to pick the 1-year-only caliper and have a harder time locating replacement pads and/or calipers later on.
3. Estimated pricing.... especially if it varies greatly between different years.

Any help would be great. I'm told that the caliper hanger bracket will be the hardest to locate, and I might need to go to a local Pick-N-Pull to find them.

FWIW, Rockauto has a feature that might help.
You go to their catalog, drill down to the part you want, and then click on the part number.
It then pops up a window that shows all the vehicles that part fits.

How accurate it is, I have no idea. But I have ordered lots of parts from them and so far have gotten the right ones.

It shows the same caliper from 1995 to 2002 in some cases.
I always go the the specific make and model when ordering parts, but this has helped me at Pick and Pull a few times.

CLARIFICATION UPDATE:

The callipers can be from either the F250 (pickup) and E250(van). The rotor needs to come from the 4x4 pickup.

Ask for parts from the front axle of a 1995-97 F250 Heavy Duty 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup. The parts guys often have listings by GVW, so pick the heaviest.

looked up calipers for E250, E350 and E350 superduty vans with 7.3's for those years and they all use the same front calipers. i can check the trucks tomorrow
