Disc Brake Conv.
Ok, I searched this forum and have not seen this question yet....
I have a 72 f-100, I also have a 71 f250 donor. I have read I can use the nessesary parts to convert my 72 to disc brakes. However I do not want to have 8 lugs on my 1/2 ton. Can I buy new rotors for a 1/2 ton and make it work?

I think things are different with both of your trucks. I changed my 67 f100 to discs off a 76 f150. It isn't on the road but I bet it will be great. As long as the rotor bearing housings are the same I don't see why this wouldn't work. But I believe the f250s have bigger bearings to bear more load.

the spindles are where you want to be the same. if the bearing set for the five lug rotors will fit the spindle you are good . i dont know if they are the same off hand but that is what you need to check.. i also think the calipers are different than the f100 too. not positive though.
