Brake Help
Hello fellow ford gurus! I am a 15 year old girl using my dads account because I need your help. I am looking to fix/restore an 1965 F-250.
So here is what we have: Front brakes are from a 76 F-250 w/dual piston calipers (8500 and up GVW?) Rear brakes are from a 81 F-250 w/ monstrous drum brakes (12" x 3"). We need a total solution for booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valve that is compatible with this setup. Is it possible that an 81 has the same front brake setup, so an all 81 system will work?
Thank you very much for any input I might receive.
