I'm still entertaining all my options for a disc brake swap on my '67 F100 2WD. Original I was looking at a Wilwood kit and CPP master cylinder/booster/prop valve combo, but now I'm looking at options from LMC.
The last two together are about $135, compared to almost $400 for the CPP combo that includes the brake booster. I presently have a factor drum booster - Will the disc master cylinder work with the factory drum brake booster? If so, I assume nothing changes with regard to pedal height, pushrod, etc?
Second is weighing the LMC vs the Wildwood. I'm leaning towards Wilwood + LMC master cylinder given it'll be cheaper, stop better, and not require changing spindles/king pins. I'm curious though if anyone has any anecdotal experience with either.
I used a new OEM booster from a mid-70’s Ford truck, 1975 F100 disc/drum master cylinder, 1975 F100 disc/drum combo valve (PV2.) I think I got all the stuff from Summit.
Spindles and calipers came off the ‘75 donor.
FYI on anon-Ford I found the master stud spacing was different between drum / drum & disc / drum master / boosters but from above not so on the Ford pickup?

Hey, that's the kind of info I needed. I'm realizing now that everything 67' is special and I don't want to count on a later OEM MC bolting up to my current drum booster. I think I'll just buy a whole MC, booster, and valve combo from CPP.

The booster on my '72 is for a drum brake truck. This one > Cardone Industries 54-73515 Cardone Remanufactured Power Brake Boosters | Summit Racing The master is a 1975 F100 disc/drum master. The disc master bolts up to the drum booster. The booster bolts in with no fabrication using aftermarket 1972 booster brackets Leed Brakes FTB5772 LEED Brakes Power Brake Booster Brackets | Summit Racing Everything bolted up. I had a brand new aftermarket dual diaphragm booster and one of the generic Corvette style master cylinders. The aftermarket stuff was crap, the pedal never felt right. I drove the truck for a while with the aftermarket stuff but was never happy with the brakes. You'll have to fab something up to attach the pedal because the aftermarket parts are designed to fit every vehicle.
Here's what I took off and threw in the trash...This is probably what you're going to buy.
I replaced the Chinese stuff with new OEM parts. The pedal is awesome now, the brakes have never been this good.
FWIW, I'm an ex Ford mechanic. I've worked for GM, Chrysler, Jeep, etc.
On Summit website it shows the dual diaphragm for my application almost $300. The one I have now looks like the one from Cardone which is single diaphram and they have it for $77 + $45 core. I have a '68 F100 2WD 390 drum all around. There's a $200 at least price difference
