It's nice to see someone doing a brake upgrade as one of their first mods, I can't tell you how many V8's I've seen shoehorned in these old slicks and they still have a single circuit drum brake system. My rant is over now 
.
OP where did you get your springs from?

This is not my first restoration and I couldn't agree with you more. Not that some of my other builds do not have big v-8's now. But the head full of grey hair is indicative of self preservation for all these years. LOL I drove cars and trucks back in the day of 4 wheel drum single masters so I know that they are no where near as safe as a modern system.
rant over!
The springs came from here:
Leaf Springs 1942 - 1972 Ford F100

This is the kit: Deluxe Disc Brake Kits: 1957-1964 Ford Half Ton - Free Shipping @ Speedway Motors
It was $279.00.
It was $279.00.
thats not a bad price at all even with the exchange and it comes with all the parts you need?

Hi Larry,
I am new to this board and I will introduce myself soon. I am currently trying to get all the parts together for the conversation to disc brakes on my 64/F100 and I saw your valued post.
For now I am trying to figure out this master cylinder you used provide 2 brake circuits? One for front, one for rear and this can be adjusted?
Could you let me know please what brake lines you used? Would be a great help!
Thanks a lot in advance.
