Another power brake conversion question...

I just read this tech article about 78-79 Broncos brake upgrades:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/articles/oct2001/brakeupgrade.php

...It was good info, but how does the Bronco info relate to my measley '74 F-100?

Specifically:

* Does the '74 F-100 have "Fulcrum Linkage" in between the pedal arm and the brake booster? Unfortunately, I don't have a late '70's truck to compare with mine. And,

* Does the '74 F-100 have the cheesey front calipers like the ones on '78-'79 Broncos? Or do they have something more (or even less) substantial?

Thanks for your time
GS

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Oct-02 AT 01:17 AM (EST)]73-77 should be pretty much the same.

Most of the front half of those vehicles interchange (bless you Fordman). For the answer to your questions it doesn't get any better than using your "peepers" and poking around.
