Disc brake conversion?
Looking to swap out my drums for discs on all 4 corners. I have a 69 F100 and I’m wondering if a kit for an early Bronco will work? The truck has sat for ages and the brakes are FUBAR, so figure if I have to replace every bit of em, might as well make it more reliable.

Re: Disc brake conversion?
I'm not sure , but a kit that bolts to the spindle might work.
What I did is get a front axle from a '76 - '79 F150 it bolts right in.
You'll need the later diagonal tracking bar.
The '78-79 tie rods are a better design than the '76-77
The newer axle has ball joints instead of king pins and bigger U joints on the axles.
While you're at it get the polyurethane bushing kit for the radius arms.
There is a lot of choices for rear disc brakes.
