Switching Brake Calipers From Chevy to Ford

I tough truck at my local county fair, and I recently bought a 1998 F-150 to run for the event this year. The truck has been sitting for some time and needs new calipers, however I like to build these without having to throw a bunch of money in. I was wondering if there was any way for me to take the calipers off my 2002 Chevy Astro van that I ran last year and put them onto my '98 f-150. I'm assuming I would have to make a custom mounting plate of some sort? I would like an external opinion before I dive into this if you have any input.

I don't think they'll fit. It'll be cheaper to buy new ones, which you can get for under $100 both on Amazon

Look around, maybe even cheaper.

      P219A-00 Code 2014 Chevy Equinox 2.4L
      By chevyguy
      I've got a 2014 Chevy Equinox with new pluigs, coils, fuel injectors, recent top-engine carbon clean, new AC Delco O2 sensors, and relitively new CAT. Getting a P219A-00 for Fuel trim cyliner balance. Any ideas where to start diagnosing? I saw this online as possible causes:
      Leaking or contaminated fuel injectors Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel Leaking evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve Exhaust or intake air system leaks Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is leaking or the valve is stuck open Ignition system Incorrectly seated engine oil dipstick, tube or oil fill cap Just curious if anyone has had this issue with a GMC of Chevy and succesfully diagnosed.

      Is everyone switching to EVs now? How’s the experience so far?
      By WiperTech008
      Hey guys, need your advice on something real quick. I’ve been really interested in EVs lately, but I’m still on the fence about making the switch. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the cost vs. value of EVs vs gas cars. Can anyone share some real-world advice?
      How bad is charging really? And do the lower maintenance costs actually make up for battery replacements down the road?
      Would especially love to hear from those who’ve owned both – what made you choose electric (or stick with gas)? Appreciate any tips from you pros!
