Overview
The Baer Brakes 4261584S is a silver Pro Plus front brake kit with a 6-piston (6P) caliper and a 14-inch two-piece rotor, made for the 1965–1979 Ford F-100 with QA1 front suspension. It ships as a complete front disc system with rotors, billet hubs, mounting brackets and braided hoses. Spindles are sold separately.
The 14-inch Pro Plus is designed to fit most 18-inch or larger wheels. Wheel styles vary, so compare the Q082P template with the wheel you plan to run before mounting.
Key features
- Two-piece 6-piston (6P) caliper, manufactured in Phoenix, AZ
- Caliper body CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Powder-coated silver finish
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to help minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Billet aluminum hubs with premium bearings packed in Redline synthetic grease, plus billet dust caps
Before you buy
Replacing front drum brakes with discs changes the load that steering and suspension parts carry, so the whole front end should be inspected before the kit goes on. Hub bearings, tie rod ends, ball joints and the steering linkage are commonly checked or replaced during the same job, since they share the same load path.
Spindle condition matters as much as the brake parts. Because spindles are sold separately, confirm they are sound, that the bearing surfaces are true, and that the mounting points are not worn before fitting the rotors and calipers. Wheel offset and tire size also affect caliper clearance, so measure before buying wheels.
- Inspect steering and suspension components for wear
- Check rotor runout and pad contact after installation
- Confirm master cylinder and proportioning match the new calipers
- Inspect brake lines for chafing before the first drive

Vehicle fitment
It fits the 1965–1979 Ford F-100 with QA1 front suspension. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Vehicles outside that F-100 listing, including other Ford F-series generations and other truck models, are not covered. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The kit is designed for use with modified stock-height 79-81 GM F-body spindles, which are not included. Baer sells spindles separately, or it can modify QA1-supplied spindles you send in. Check the Q082P template against your wheel before mounting, since Baer cannot guarantee wheel fit for every wheel style.
Brake work on a classic truck calls for a qualified installer who will verify spindle clearance and pad fit.
What’s included
Pre-assembled 14-inch rotors with stainless hardware, billet aluminum hubs with premium bearings and billet dust caps, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: spindles, which Baer sells separately or can modify from QA1-supplied spindles.
