Hi All

I finally got her.  She is a blue 1968 F-100 with a 302.  She is in need of some tlc but I love her already.

There is only two things I would like to do to modify her but all other fixes will be stock.  I would like to first and for most change the manual breaks to an All Disk Brake system (power brakes of course).  Since this is my first time doing this I would love to hear from you guys that really know what your doing.

This is my thought on how to do this.  I believe I can put some F-150 disks on her with little to no modification at the hub.  Then I will go and get the base parts from the junk yard and get new rotors and disk pads along with the new MC and lines.

Is this the right way to go about it?

Hope to hear from any of you.

Bill

sounds abit weird but take a look at different manufacturers there are interchange manuals that can get you parts easier and quicker
