Front drum to disc on my 1965 F100...whats cheapest and fast

Post by Harper »

i have two 1965 ford f100's to convert to Front disc. Is there a bracket i can buy to use later 70's model front rotors and calipers without takeing my whole truck apart. I know i will have to have a new mastercylinder, but does anyone sell reasonable brackets to use other rotors.
thanks

If you sent your Truck out to a restoration shop, you did NOT build it, jus sayin!

anyone looking for disc brakes keep an eye on the crownvic facebook swap pages, lots of guys doing that swap on 70's trucks and have no idea the earlier truck guys want them, good opportunity to score some takeoffs for cheap.

On my 66 just just dropped the steering and hub assembly off the I-beam and reinstalled a set up off a 79 used the power booster and prop valve off the 79 donar as well but that's I-beam not solid..

65s are I beams as well. Cheapest will probably be using a 72-79 donor.
