Knowing what I do, I wouldn't buy it, too many parts needed are not in that sale
The thing is I have yet to find a local donor truck that is equipped with power disc brakes! Every one is non-power disc so what options am I left with in trying to find the rest of the necessary parts?

daveengelson is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
There are kits: Just googled and came up with site posted below, follow thru with the 'production search' fields and it will provide list of options, found a list for the 65F100. Recall there were a couple of members who indicated they purchasing the kits, perhaps if one of them picks up on this thread they can add provide info.


Front Disc Brake Kits, Brake Conversion Kits - Master Power Brakes

No offense, I don't think you are out beating the bushes looking. There are trucks out there, some in small salvage yards, some are in folks yards that can be bought. You have to get out and go hunting.

I agree with jowilker but I will admit I have a slight advantage, around here in the California Bay area, people pretty much throw these trucks away on a daily basis simply because it's not a BMW or a Prius. You need something off a 70's donor, I have it.

What's missing, if you're just looking for a booster/master combo?

Nothing.

You will need many more parts to do a power disc brake upgrade.
