Welcome to FTE

The spindles are not the same and there's no such thing as a 1968 Econoline.

While the new Econoline was introduced February 1968, Ford called 'em 1969's.

C5TZ-3105-B .. Spindle / Right/Left is the same: 1965/67 F100 2WD.

D2UZ-3105-A (replaced C8TZ-3105-E) .. Spindle / Right/Left is the same: 1969/74 E100.

Thanks Dave
I know this conversation is old but I have 69 shorty and trying to find a way to use the wildwood brakes they mentioned to interchange spindle with f100. From what I'm reading with this conversation was that's a no go. Is there any way to get the wildwood brand disc brakes? I heard from another source that the later years Econoline stock disc brakes would bolt on but I can't seem to find those for sale anywhere. I'm open for ideas thanks

I thought Wilwoods 140-14614 series would work on a 69’ 1/2 ton 2wd

I have the e200 it's a 5 on 5 1/2" pattern. I believe that is 3/4 ton. They upgraded to a different chassis from the e100 that year but same as f100. I read the ibeam for the e200 was same as the trucks that year but they must have different spindles that can't be used. Im eager to try to see if it works but those brakes are like 1500 bucks. Lil
