Disc Brake Conversion

I am trying my hardest to keep my '60 all Ford but I am having problems with disc brakes. All the kits I find use GM calipers. Anyone know how to use the calipers from a 73-79 Ford F100 on these trucks? I know most kits use the rotors from those years but not the calipers. Would really like to be able to go to the junk yard and pull some parts or go to the auto parts shop.

Are you running the standard front axle and leaf springs or are there any modifications ? Im running a Mustang II front end and the calipers are Ford, assuming Mustang II 74-78. Let me know if you want a part no.
