1979 Front end P/N question
Hi, All
I am upgrading my '67 F250 Camper special with 1979 F250 front disc brakes w/ the '79 booster. The spindles look a bit rough, and one of the radius arms has major wear due to a worn out bushing.
Can anyone supply me with part numbers for the 73-79 spindles, dust shields, and radius arms to assist my search for parts. Also just what front suspension parts on the '67 are compatible, can I reuse the radius arm(s) for this conversion? also, if anyone has installed a later model brake booster, did you have any difficulties doing so that you'd care to share?
Thanks in advance, folks FTE has so far been an invaluable resource for me, and I'm glad to be a member of this community!
Cheers,

I'm learning that the radius arms aren't readily available in an aftermarket fashion. I've had to look in junkyards and online for radius arms for my 1978 F250 2WD. I'm not sure what's compatible across generations, but I'm sure other folk can weigh in. Are you running 4WD or 2WD?

Hi, and thanks for the responses. The donor truck is a 6200 gvw, regular cab, with single piston caliper. I would like to use the dual piston setup, but haven't come across any parts for that. I have not found any junk yards that fess up to having any trucks of the 60's - 70's generations.
