63 F100 disc brake conversion Kit?

I need advice on a good front brake conversion kit from drums to disc, also what master cylinder and booster do I need for this truck for power brakes?

Believe one has couple options; salvage shopping with the hopes the vehicles and parts are available for the upgrade, or purchase a kit, I have gone both ways and found the kit cost about same by the time labor and time were factored in?

Book Marked couple sources for examples only!! These are links other member's have posted, I am not familiar with either; perhaps member's more knowledgeable with the upgrade will offer advice?

I went with Speedway motors front brake kit. Great price and works amazingly!!! Bolts right on to the factory spindles too. Trucks stops like a champ. I also added a power brake booster with a dual master cyl and had the rear drums rebuilt. This would be my suggestion. Good luck.

There are no disc brake parts from 1973/79 F100 2WD; 1975/79 F150 2WD that will work on 1964 and earlier trucks.

The only choice is an aftermarket kit.

These later disc brake parts will only work on 1965/72 F100 2WD
