Power drum to power disk brake conversion kit.
Hello all, can anyone direct me to a website and/or dealer to purchase a power disk brake conversion kit? Just the front brakes is all I want to convert. What exactly will I need to do this, I know I will need the disks, calipers, hubs, and hardware. Will I also need to change the master cylinder and the existing power brake booster? My 1970 F100 currently has power drum brakes. Thank you........det45

Master Power Brakes has a kit.
... or find a 73-79 donor for less than half of the cost.
MC has to be changed. The booster can be retained.

It is more important to understand what you don't know than what you do know,because then you can start to learn..???

Re: Power drum to power disk brake conversion kit.
Easiest is to find a '73-'74 donor truck and just get the spindles and dust shields. The king pins are the same so it's a direct swap. Pull your drum brake spindles, install the disc brake spindles and you're done. That's what I did. Everything else is available at your local parts store except the prop valve and there are a large selection available online from a number of manufacturers. Or you can get the one from your donor truck and hopefully it'll be good. You'll also need a set of brake booster brackets so grab those too, or you can get those online from Flashback F100's.

Re: Power drum to power disk brake conversion kit.
What about if we are dealing with a 69 camper special. One thing I would like to know is when the lug stud changed to a larger diameter. What is the stud size on the 68, 5/8? I would want my new 8 lug front to match the oem rear.
