First of all I want to say that I am new to this website but look forward to learning lots from all of you.
This is pictures of my 68 I picked up the other day. The bed and front is not bolted to the frame so it looks jacked up. Few rust spots here and there but nothing I cannot fix myself. I came with a fresh rebuilt 351 and c4 trans. The guy I bought it from put a crown vic front end and rear end in it already.
So the first things I wanted to know from you all is what you think and if anyone has a parts list to get the brakes hooked up on this sucker. I mean like brake booster and items to that effect. The truck is pretty much stripped of everything so it will be a frame off resto. Thanks for all the info and suggestions!
Your choices for power brakes are hydroboost (requires a power steering pump to operate the brake unit) or, a vacuum brake booster operated off of engine vacuum.
My '69 F100 2WD short bed Ranger had manual drum brakes all the way around and manual steering when I bought it nearly 5 years ago. I installed a Saginaw power steering gear box, Ford C-2 PS pump and a '77 F100 disc brake I-beam front suspension.
I pulled a dual diaphragm brake booster/mounting brackets from a '75 F350. I turned the booster in for a newly rebuilt booster from O'Reilly Auto Parts.
So besides brake lines going to the brakes thats pretty much it eh?
Yep. The booster brackets bolt directly to the existing holes in the firewall and the input rod from the booster was a direct connection to my '69 brake pedal.
The brake line fittings on the MC are ISO metric bubble flare fittings. M10 x 1.0 primary port fitting and an M12 x 1.0 secondary port fitting. The rest of my brake system connections are SAE inverted flare fittings with 45° double flares on the hard lines.
"Best" is a relative term depending on the individual. "Best" to one person is worst to another.
Hydroboost has more pressure output potential than a vacuum booster but, there are no wrecking yard direct bolt-on hydroboost units for the '67-'72 Ford trucks. Modifications/adaption is required, hydraulic lines have to be made and having a power steering pump is a must --the pump should really be designed specifically for hydroboost. This type of pump will have TWO return line ports.
