Disk brake conversion

Does anyone know of a kit or have a rotor part number for disk brake conversion rotors for the 57 to 60 F100 with the 5x4.75 bolt pattern?

57-60 F100s had drum brakes, not disc. You'll need to know what flavor of brakes are installed now.

I know they have drum brakes. Maybe you missed the part where I need part numbers for the particular conversion kit or rotor part number....

There are many kits available, I never used any but have dealt with Speedway quite a bit for other things. Deluxe Disc Brake Kits: 1957-1964 Ford Half Ton - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop

I got mine from ECI. Give them a call and discuss what you want and I bet they can fix you up.

Most kits that everyone sells has the 5x5.5 bolt pattern. I need 5x4.75 pattern. I did find out that the 53 to 56 spindles fit the 57 to 60 axles. The earlier spindles have the bolt pattern available that I want. I'll check with that company and see what they have..... ECI doesn't have my pattern available for the 57 to 60.
