Welcome to FTE...get a set of, IIRC, 72 and later brackets, rotors, etc.

These two threads should highlight all that is necessary:

IIRC, if I recall correctly

Yeah, a disc/drum setup uses a different master cylinder.

Your question will be answered by the threads I posted.

C'mon man, we'll provide you the information resources by those who have done it before... and done well I might add.

If ya get stuck, then we can chime in.

Yes, yes you can. We believe in you.

Please read through those threads rather than us being redundant and repetitive.

1968/72 F250 2WD's were available with optional dual piston caliper disc brakes.

Disc brakes became standard equipment on 1973 F250 2WD's, but there were two different types:

With single piston calipers or dual piston calipers...as it depended on what the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) was.
