Speedway Motors Deluxe Disc Brakes
Hello. Wanted to ask if anyone has gotten this brake kit from Speedway Motors? Link provided below.
I have a 1964 Ford F100, 292. I ordered them on Sunday and they should be here later today.
There is a tab that shows what exactly comes with it.
Ford F-150 11.75 Inch Brake Rotor
1971-1976 Impala Calipers
Speedway Soft Street Organic Brake Pads GM Mid-Size 1969-1977
etc.
According to the instructions which can be found on the same page, it states, "This kit installs '79-'93 Ford F-100/F-150 or equivalent rotors and
'71-'87 GM ½ Ton truck or equivalent calipers on 1957-1964 Ford F-100 spindles."
That being said, I still need a brake booster and a master cylinder. The website does offer boosters and master cylinders but I was kind of hoping to get some more definite answers from you guys. Calm me what you will but I trust this forum. A lot of good members and information.
Also, I want to buy something local that doesn't hurt the bank account and don't have to wait another week. AutoZong or O'Reilly.
So, should I be able to grab a booster and master from a '79-'93 Ford to accompany the kit or no? Thoughts?
Thanks!

EDIT: I didn't want to make a new thread so I'll ask in this one, the frame of a style side and flare side the same? '64 swb.

Looks pretty much like the kit I just bought from CPP, except I bought the complete kit.
Here's a link to the booster, m/c, proportioning valve kit they sell. It should work with your calipers, because I'm pretty sure the ones I got are the same as yours. I think the picture is a generic one though, because it shows a frame mounted kit.
BTW, even though the booster/m/cyl comes assembled, you'll have to adjust the pushrod between the booster and m/c as well as the one going to the pedal to get it right.

I just did this conversion on my 64. I used a Ford-style dual bowl master cylinder and booster. I was lucky that I bought it from another guy who had it from a No-Limit kit for a 65 F100 so the correct push rod was already there. Speedway carries the late 70's Ford Style Dual Feed Master Cylinder - Free Shipping @ Speedway Motors You could probably also find one at local auto parts store. You could also use a Corvette style with the GM disc/drum proportioning valve.
Since I already had the Ford style, I had to make new lines to go between the Gm disc/drum prop. valve. You could also just as easily install an adjustable prop. valve and 10lb residual check valve and get good results. I probably would have rather done this as a simpler install. But I have great results from what I did and the booster is super nice and gives a great brake feel. Here's mine.
Also, while I was at it, I installed all new brake line, a new rear brake hose, and rebuilt both rear drum brakes with shoes, springs, and wheel cylinders.
