Try to find a 73-79 truck you can get the parts off. Much better than grafting Chevy parts on.

FYI/PSA/ICYDK

Front brake rotors for F100 and F150 2wd are the same all the way up until 1992.

The I beams and prop valve. Master cylinder and booster

Or you can have manual disc brakes like I do. I like the feel of the non-boosted brakes

The hose brackets were the same on mine.
