'75 brake upgrade
Hello all,
I am thinking about getting a '75 F-250 Highboy 4x4. From what I understand it currently has 4 wheel drum brakes. Is it possible to swap out the 4 drums for discs? If so, can anyone point me in the direction of a how-to? Or even provide some input on wheter this is doable? I scanned through the Tech Articles but didn't see anything relating to this era of truck. Unfortunatly I don't know what axels are installed, so please assume stock for now.
Thanks,
Steve

I have a 76 and it has dual piston disc bakes in the front, stock, I assume that you could find a donor truck similar to mine and swap out the brackets and hardware to make a cheap swap.
these trucks are all over ebay, especially parts ones.
check it out.
