Smile Front Disk Brake Conversion

Hello, My son and I just bought a 72 F100. I would like to install front disk brakes on it for better braking in and around our city. I have installed front disk brake conversions kits on other types of vehicles and would appreciate any advise on what kits are good, or any parts swaps from other vehicles that might work best.

Thanks!

If your truck is a 2WD, here is a good write up on using Dentside (1973-79) parts.

I used 77 calipers and spindles, PV2 combo valve, 77 disc/drum master and Cardone 54-73515 OEM style booster.
