I'm trying to determine the easiest and least expensive way to put disc brakes front and rear on my 67 Ranchero... I've heard that mid-70's Granada/Monarch is the best bet for the front and maybe MK.VII for the (9")rear. I'd appreciate any input as to pro or con for any set-up that would fit.

Oh yeah, I want to do this as a bolt on upgrade using all Ford parts if possible...

Yes...Granada/Monarch, with the Ford bolt pattern (5 on 4 1/2).
Make sure ya get ALL the parts if yer gettin it from a wrecking yard. I live up north of ya in Arlington if ya need help doin the swap over. I've done em in the past on a few older Fords.
Auto parts stores should carry all the new bearings, seals, and hardware ya need to do the job.
Need help....gimme a shout !! Always glad to help a fellow FORDER !!
