Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262719R is a 10.5 inch rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 inch rear axles with late Big or Torino bearing housing ends, built for vehicles running non-staggered rear shocks. It converts a drum rear to disc. The Classic Series is a cost-effective, full-featured drum-to-disc conversion for wheels 14 inch or larger.
The kit includes the calipers, rotors, brackets, hardware, stainless braided brake hoses and fittings. Each side uses a red powder-coated single-piston floating caliper with an integral park brake, paired with a slotted, dimpled, zinc-plated one-piece rotor and the common D627 brake pad type.
Key features
- Single-piston floating caliper with integral park brake
- Red powder-coated caliper finish
- One-piece slotted, dimpled, zinc-plated rotor, 10.5 inch diameter
- Dust and weather seal included with the caliper
- Stainless braided brake hoses and fittings
- Uses the FMSI D0627 (D627) pad type
- Designed for wheels 14 inch or larger
Axle and shock setup
A drum-to-disc conversion changes more than the wheel end. Rear discs add a rotor and caliper to the axle, and the hydraulic system must handle the load that drum shoes used to carry. Because the bearing housing ends and the shock layout decide what can be bolted on, the axle housing style is the first thing to confirm before buying parts for any rear disc conversion.
Wheel clearance deserves the same attention. Larger rotors and calipers sit closer to the inside of the wheel, so checking the template against wheel offset and backspacing prevents rubbing. After installation, a short test of pedal feel and the park brake helps confirm the system is working before the truck returns to the road.
- Measure the axle housing ends before ordering
- Check shock style against the kit requirement
- Inspect brake lines and fittings at each service

Vehicle fitment
Fit is set by the axle and shock setup: Ford 9 inch axles with Torino or late Big bearing housing ends, running non-staggered rear shocks, rather than a specific year, make or model.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. A model name alone does not establish fit for this kit.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are sold separately from the kit, so the integral park brake needs cables sourced on its own. Baer recommends checking wheel clearance with the V120V template against the 14.0 inch minimum wheel diameter. Brake work on a rear axle is best left to a technician comfortable with hydraulic lines.
What’s included
The kit includes the Classic calipers, one-piece rotors, brackets, hardware, stainless braided brake hoses and fittings, and the integral park brake assembly.
Not included: park brake cables, which are sold separately.
