I am curious if anyone has found any way to swap a later model F100/150's front disc brakes onto a '57-'60 F100. I still have the front drums on mine and would like to find a cheap (junkyard transplant! lol) way of using a later model trucks front discs, accessories, and master cylinder. I havent really had any luck finding aftermarket conversions for my specific year model, but tons for the '53-'56 body style...can I utilize one of these models kits to go on my body style? Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!

You can actually use the available '53-'56 F100 kits to get a disc swap with a 5x4.5" bolt pattern (V8 Aspen/Volare rotors, I believe), but you have to have the '53-'56 spindles. The axles are the same '53-'60, except that the stock '53-'56 axles will provide a 1.0" lift (not drop) over stock '57-'60 axles.not sure how the 57-60 steering linkage bolts to a 53-56 spindle, but I'm sure it's doable if you want it bad enough.

The '57-'60 conversion is pretty simple- ALL kits use the '83-'93 F-150 2WD rotors that have the same 5x5.5" bolt pattern, and '71-'76 GM big-Car calipers (Impala/Delta/Catalina), and adaptor plates.
I got my kit on sale for $300 (ebay) direct from the manufacturer, Classic Performance Products. I don't think you can come close to buying the parts for that. Comes with loaded calipers, hoses, etc.
