If you're diving into the world of classic Ford trucks, especially the 1937-1948 models, you need to check out this front brake system. It’s not just another upgrade; it’s a serious piece of engineering. We're talking about the 6S 6-piston Monoblock caliper, expertly mounted to a hefty 14-inch two-piece rotor that’s been slotted, drilled, and zinc plated for durability. I’ve put this setup through its paces, and let me tell you, it’s impressive.

This system comes with everything you need to get rolling—stainless steel brake hoses included, plus calipers that are D.O.T. compliant, so you know they’re built to handle whatever the road throws at you. The bearings are top-notch, and the NAS high-grade stainless hardware keeps everything secure. The 2-piece rotor? It’s pre-assembled, so you can skip the hassle and get right to enjoying your ride.

Now, let’s talk about the calipers—the 6S and 6R R-Spec calipers are Baer's flagship models. Crafted from a single piece of US-sourced 2618 forged aluminum, they’re not just pretty; they’re built to last. Plus, they offer that same slick look for both the front and rear, which is something you don’t see from other manufacturers.

What makes the Extreme+ a must-have?

• It’s a US-made forged MonoBlock caliper, so you know you’re getting quality.
• Everything you need is included right out of the box—hoses, fittings, the works.
• The 6061 T-6 billet aluminum hat is anodized black and bolted to the rotor for a clean look.
• High-grade U281 fine thread stainless hardware is used, complete with captured nuts, and the rotor comes pre-assembled.
• You get 6061-T6 billet machined hubs with quality bearings already installed. They’re packed with Redline synthetic grease, so you’re good to go.

Now, let’s break down the 6S Extreme+ caliper features:

• This is the only 6-piston forged monoblock caliper available for street use, which is pretty cool.
• It has stainless steel pistons and noise suppression springs, so you can enjoy a quieter ride.
• With staggered piston sizes, it helps minimize pad wear—always a plus.
• It uses the common D1247 or DR11 race pad backing plate, which means you can find replacement pads easily.
• Dual seals keep dust and weather out, meeting D.O.T. specs for peace of mind.
• The caliper can accommodate rotors ranging from 13.5 to 16 inches, giving you some flexibility.
• Each caliper features a machined logo that’s hand-painted, adding a personal touch.
• Choose from standard colors like red, black, or silver powder coat finishes, and if you want something unique, custom colors are available.
• It’s available for both front and rear, so you can keep that aesthetic consistent.
• Baer uses the correct banjo-style fittings, steering clear of pipe threads that can cause leaks.
• Just a heads up, the minimum tire size is 18 inches, so make sure to check fitment with the provided template.
• And yes, it’s 100% made in the USA with locally sourced materials!

So, if you’re looking to upgrade your braking system on your classic Ford truck, this Baer Brakes system is a solid choice. It combines quality, performance, and style, making it a worthy investment for any serious truck owner.
