Willwood kit bolted right on to my 66 f100. I did the conversion earlier this year. DO not need to change the king pins either if they are still in good shape.

If you've got the money the Wilwood kit is first rate. If you're on a budget like me go the Speedway adapter route and buy everything to go with it from Rock Auto. My '64 F100 had the Speedway setup on when I bought the truck and it works great.

This is the one I bought. Almost 6000 miles on it. No problems. It WAS a lot less money three years ago!

I guess you are looking for a 5 lug brake system. If you have a F250 with 8 lug you need to get a donor which came with disc brakes (e.g. 1967 and up).

Depending on what your other plans are for suspension etc... cpp makes a complete kit with new spindles, king pins etc. I found them on ebay and used it on my 65. It's not on the road yet, but it went together nicely.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a long time ago, before the interwebs, I did a disc brake swap on my 66, with parts from a 74... IIRC, the kingpins were the same F100/250..? I now have another 66, an F250 and I'm debating on doing something on it.

Thanks for the reply must be a difference between 65 and 61 I do like the way that lines right up. If I thought the bolt pattern was the same I'd look at it, thats my problem now these uniy frames are so thin don't want to do a lot of drilling.

I don’t understand why people don’t use factory brake parts from a 73-79 donor truck. 🤷🏻‍♂️
