I wish the paint still looked that good. I've got spots of paint peeling off that was pretty common in the late '90s. I need to hit up some of my friends in the body & paint sector to see what they can do about it.

2500 calipers and pads fit on the front, and 3500 cylinders fit in the rear. I replaced the front hoses with stock items as a precaution. I’d have to dig out all of the part numbers but there are threads out there that go into detail. The results are pretty good, without having to go the Brembo or SSBC route.

The main thing to do though, even with original gear, is purge all fluid, do a full bleed, and adjust the rear drums with each oil change.

Edit- this thread has details. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram-tech/398685-1500-brake-upgrade.html
