Read the FAQ in this forum for power brake info.

C'mon dude, we're not clairvoyant so ya gotta post your specs - is your F100 4WD or 2WD???? What engine?

4x4... do the 78-79 Bronco integral PS swap. Take a look at this site for info: Ford F100 Conversion ... That's a Bronco PS gear but rebuilt to operate in the opposite direction.

2WD? Do a search in this forum for "power steering". There's a ton of info in here but ya gotta mine for it.

In the blue menu bar near the top between "New Posts" and "Quick Links".

Select Advanced Search, then in the Advanced Search specify the 67-72 forum and enter the key words "Power steering swap" or "power steering conversion".

Instead of having to enter yer specs all the time, edit/create your personal signature with the info... .. the user control panel function is also in the blue tool bar all the way to the left.

Oh, welcome to FTE.
